Fairytale of New York |
| 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 you and me |
| 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 are 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 |
| The boys of the NYPD choir still singing, "Galway Bay" |
| And the bells are ringing out for Christmas day |
