|
It was Christmas Eve babe |
|
In the drunk tank |
|
An old man said to me, won't see another one |
|
And then he sang a song |
|
The Rare Old Mountain Dew |
|
I turned my face away |
|
And dreamed about you |
|
Got on a lucky one |
|
Came in eighteen to one |
|
I've got a feeling |
|
This year's for me and you |
|
So happy Christmas |
|
I love you baby |
|
I can see a better time |
|
When all our dreams come true |
|
They've got cars big as bars |
|
They've got rivers of gold |
|
But the wind goes right through you |
|
It's no place for the old |
|
When you first took my hand |
|
On a cold Christmas Eve |
|
You promised me |
|
Broadway was waiting for me |
|
You were handsome |
|
You were pretty |
|
Queen of New York City |
|
When the band finished playing |
|
They howled out for more |
|
Sinatra was swinging, |
|
All the drunks they were singing |
|
We kissed on a corner |
|
Then danced through the night |
|
The boys of the NYPD choir |
|
Were singing \"Galway Bay\" |
|
And the bells were ringing out |
|
For Christmas day |
|
You're a bum |
|
You're a punk |
|
You're an old slut on junk |
|
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed |
|
You scumbag, you maggot |
|
You cheap lousy faggot |
|
Happy Christmas your arse |
|
I pray God it's our last |
|
The boys of the NYPD choir |
|
Still singing \"Galway Bay\" |
|
And the bells were ringing out |
|
For Christmas day |
|
I could have been someone |
|
Well so could anyone |
|
You took my dreams from me |
|
When I first found you |
|
I kept them with me babe |
|
I put them with my own |
|
Can't make it all alone |
|
I've built my dreams around you |
|
The boys of the NYPD choir |
|
Still singing \"Galway Bay\" |
|
And the bells are ringing out |
|
For Christmas day |
