Common "folk" probably enjoyed reflecting on that possibility though, when they could "call up [their] men... set them to work" (verse 2) all "whilst you and I....keep ourselves warm" in comfort and luxury (verse 3). The enjoyable, nonsense "diddle, diddle" and tune make it a fun song to sing with children.
The Live-Action Disney Cinderella of 2015 showed Lily James singing the song as she worked.
