It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
Won't see another one
And then they 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 better time
When all our dreams come true.

They got cars big as bars
They 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're handsome you're pretty
Queen of new york city
When the band finished playing they held out from more
Sinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
And danced through the night.

And the boys from 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 you arse
I pray god it's our last.

And 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 can everyone
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

And the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day.
