 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 
[CHORUS:] 
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 
Sl*t on junk 
Lying there almost 
Dead on a drip 
In that bed 
You scum bag 
You maggot 
You're cheap and you're haggard 
Happy Christmas your arse 
I pray God 
It's our last 
[Repeat chorus] 
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 
[Repeat chorus] 
Na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Na na na
