Fairytale Of New York lyrics

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
were 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
were singing
"Galway Bay"

And the bells
were ringing out
for Christmas Day
