The chorus was '...saucy Roseabella' but it wasn't vulgar, if that's what you mean.

The kind of songs we used to sing at school, admittedly a long time ago, were traditional, although I remember singing Vaughan-Williams arrangements that didn't feel 'folkie'.

Incidentally, re your original query, what about 'Dashing Away With The Smoothing Iron'? That's pretty rhythmic and it's about women's work.
