Rick Springfield

I saw three ships come sailing by
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
I saw three ships come sailing by
On Christmas Day in the morning

And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning?

The Virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The virgin Mary and Christ were there
On Christmas Day in the morning
