Bilingual
It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
"You 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
ย
Got on a lucky one
Came in 18 to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So, happy Christmas, babe
I love you, baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
ย
They've got cars big as bars, they've got rivers of gold
The wind blows 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, I was 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
And we kissed on a corner
And we danced through the night
And the boys in the NYPD choir
Was singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
ย
You're a bum, you're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there on a drip
Nearly dead in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap, lousy faggot
Happy Christmas, your arse
I pray God it's our last
And the boys in 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
But I kept them with me, babe
And I put them with my own
I can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you
ย
And the boys in the NYPD choir
Still singing Galway Bay
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day
