[Verse 1]
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 18-1
I've got a feelin' 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
[Verse 2]
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 waitin' for me
[Verse 3]
You were handsome (You were pretty, Queen of New York City)
When the band finished playin', they howled out for more
Sinatra was swingin', all the drunks, they were singin'
We kissed on a corner, then danced through the night
The boys of the NYPD choir were singin' "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringin' out for Christmas Day
[Verse 4]
You're a bum, you're a punk (You're an old slut on junk)
(Lyin' there almost dead on a drip in that bed)
You scumbag, you maggot, you're cheap, and you're haggard
Happy Christmas, your arse, I pray God it's our last
The boys of the NYPD choir are still singin' "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringin' out for Christmas Day
[Verse 5]
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 are still singin' "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringin' out for Christmas Day
[Verse 6]
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-na
[Verse 7]
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-na
[Verse 8]
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na
