Karaoké Fairytale of New York The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl

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

When the band finished playing they howled out for more they howled out for more

Sinatra was swinging

Sinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singing all the drunks they were singing

We kissed on the corner

We kissed on the corner then danced through the night then danced through the night

And the boys of the NYPD choir

And the boys of the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay were singing Galway Bay

And the bells are ringing out

And the bells are ringing out for Christmas day 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 your arse

I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir

The boys of the NYPD choir still singing Galway Bay still singing Galway Bay

And the bells are ringing out

And the bells are ringing out for Christmas day 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 put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir

The boys of the NYPD choir still singing Galway Bay still singing Galway Bay

And the bells are ringing out

And the bells are ringing out for Christmas day for Christmas day
