Fairy tale of new york

Fairy tale of new york Lyrics

It was christmas eve babe

in the drunk tank

an old man said to me: won`t see another one

but 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 another one

where 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 day

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 hold 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 sl*t on junk

lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed

You scambag you maggot

you cheap lousy fagott

happy christmas my arse I pray god it´s our last.


And the boys of the NYPD choirwere 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 took 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 choirwere singing Galway Bay

and the bells were ringing out

for christmas day.
