Lyrics:
------------------------------
I saw three ships come sailing by,
Come sailing by, come sailing by,
I saw three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day, in the morning

And what do you think was in them, then
Was in them, then? Was in them, then?
What do you think was in them then,
On Christmas Day in the morning?

Three pretty girls were in them then,
Were in them then, Were in them then,
Three pretty girls were in them then,
On Christmas Day in the morning.

And one could whistle,
And one could sing,
And once could play on the violin, Such a joy,
On the Christmas Day in the morning!
