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 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 Still singing "Galway Bay" And the bells were ringing out For Christmas Day You're a bum You're a punk You're an old gallon drunk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy blaggard Happy Christmas, you mug 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 kept them with my own Can't make it 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 Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride On a one-horse open sleigh, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride On a one-horse open sleigh Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh Through the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride On a one-horse open sleigh, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride On a one-horse open sleigh
