/                                   
              It was Christmas Eve babe, In the drunktank
                                                     
An old man said to me, won't see another one  And then he sang a song
                                         
The Rare Old Mountain Dew And 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

              /faster now/           


            
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 the 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
                            
Living there almost dead on a drip
        
In that bed
    
You scum bag

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
