...Waring's Pennsylvanians feature the line "...You can bet your  
Ingersoll" (i.e. wristwatch) in "Hello Montreal".

  In "Ich bin die fesche Lola", Marlene Dietrich tells us, "...Ich  
hab' ein Pianola." (trademark of the Aeolian-Vocalion Co.)

  And If we're accepting cars as appliances, the list goes way beyond  
Henry's Lizzie:

  "...A boy kissed Bessie in a Buick one night." ("Bessie Couldn't  
Help It" — Louis Armstrong). Don Redman gives his girlfriend a "big  
Packard coupe" in "Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You?" — McKinney's  
Cotton Pickers. Dizzy Gillespie recorded "Swing Low Sweet Cadillac",   
and Jean Goldkette "In my Merry Oldsmobile" — though that's really an  
ad jingle.
