When I beheld my darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble, O
A-washing of her linen, O
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away.
'Twas on a Tuesday morning
When I beheld my darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble, O
A-hanging out her linen, O
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away.
'Twas on a Wednesday morning
When I beheld my darling ...etc
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away.
By now I am expecting that you have the drift ... only a few more verses to go.
'Twas on a Thursday morning
When I beheld my darling ...etc
'Twas on a Friday morning
When I beheld my darling ...etc
'Twas on a Saturday morning
When I beheld my darling ...etc
'Twas on a Sunday morning
When I beheld my darling ... etc

we used to sing that at school!! when i do the ironing (which happens extremely rarely - life is way too short to be ironing)it loops through my head endlessly and drives me mad.
as it's doing now. thanks then.
I've always wondered, where and why was she dashing. It's not what one commonly does with a smoothing iron.
Is it?
smoothing irons are used in bookbinding, to keep things flat
funny that
You've got to wonder about any bloke who gets turned on by some female doing the bloody ironing even if she is doing it at breakneck speed.
Or who takes six days to finish her laundry.
