Lyrics

[00:06.940] it was christmas eve babe
[00:13.240] in the drunk tank
[00:16.930] an old man said to me, won't see another one
[00:21.120] an old man said to me, won't see another one
[00:26.420] and then he sang a song
[00:30.130] the rare old mountain dew
[00:34.340] i turned my face away
[00:37.790] and dreamed about you
[00:43.270]
[00:47.980] came in eighteen to one
[00:51.380] i've got a feeling
[00:55.720] this year's for me and you
[01:00.010] so happy christmas
[01:04.700] i love you baby
[01:08.710] i can see a better time
[01:12.950] when all our dreams come true
[01:17.140]
[01:29.330] they've got cars big as bars
[01:30.980] they've got rivers of gold
[01:32.900] but the wind goes right through you
[01:34.410] it's no place for the old
[01:35.760] when you first took my hand
[01:37.400] on a cold christmas eve
[01:39.080] you promised me
[01:40.260] broadway was waiting for me
[01:42.300]
[01:42.280] you were handsome
[01:42.310] you were pretty
[01:43.400] queen of new york city
[01:44.600] when the band finished playing
[01:45.630] they howled out for more
[01:46.180] sinatra was swinging,
[01:47.820] all the drunks they were singing
[01:50.270] we kissed on a corner
[01:52.880] then danced through the night
[01:55.080] the boys of the nypd choir
[01:56.740] were singing "galway bay"
[02:00.170] and the bells were ringing out
[02:02.360] for christmas day
[02:03.760]
[02:14.810] you're a bum
[02:16.260] you're a punk
[02:16.980] you're an old slut on junk
[02:19.580] lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
[02:21.510] you scumbag, you maggot
[02:22.770] you cheap lousy faggot
[02:24.260] happy christmas your arse
[02:27.160] i pray god it's our last
[02:27.700]
[02:28.590] the boys of the nypd choir
[02:30.610] still singing "galway bay"
[02:32.820] and the bells are ringing out
[02:36.040] for christmas day
[02:37.500]
[02:48.200] i could have been someone
[02:50.630] well so could anyone
[02:53.980] you took my dreams from me
[02:57.620] when i first found you
[03:00.820] i kept them with me babe
[03:03.740] i put them with my own
[03:06.870] can't make it all alone
[03:09.160] i've built my dreams around you
[03:11.400]
[03:14.340] the boys of the nypd choir
[03:17.420] still singing "galway bay"
[03:20.660] and the bells are ringing out
[03:22.940] for christmas day
