Lyrics
Small domestic tragedies
Bring strong women to their knees
I saw three ships go sailing by
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships go sailing by
On Christmas Day in the morning
Mama, there's money
Down in the laundry
Dig for the money
Down in the laundry
Mama, come home
Jackie got a cavity
Eating the candy
You always buy him now
He needs a dentist
And I need five dollars
To go to Beaumont
To see the live nativity
And Christmas is comin'
And money wantin'
Mama, there's money (the handsome boy, the Navy man)
Down in the laundry (Larry now in Vietnam)
Dig for the money (somewhere near China)
Down in the laundry
Mama, come home (near Japan)
Writer(s): Jeanine Tesori
