Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

It was Christmas Eve babe in the drunk tank
An old man said to me wont see another one
And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew
And I turned my face away and dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one came in eighteen to one
Ive got a feeling this years for me and you
So happy Christmas I love you baby
I can see a better time when all our dreams come true

Theyve got cars big as bars theyve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you Its 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 NewYork City
N` When the band finished playing they howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singing
We kissed on the corner then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day

Youre a bum Youre a punk an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead ona drip in that bed
You scum bag You maggot You cheap lousy faggot
HappyChristmas your arse I pray God Its our last

The boys of the NYPD choir were 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 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 were singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day
