Not forgetting: Popular song: “How the Money Rolls In,” by Jean C. Havez & Ted S. Barron (1879-1943), Metropolis Music Co., crt. May 6, 1913. The chorus begins, “My mother’s a fancy dress-maker.” ----------- International Socialist Review (Dec., 1915): "Here's an old verse of an old song. If anybody knows more verses to the same song, send 'em in: My mother she takes in washing, My father he fiddles for gin, My sister she works in a laundry, My God! how the money rolls in!"
