Intro

G A D

It was Christmas EDve babe

In the drGunk tank

An old man sDaid to me, won’t see Aanother one

And then he saDng a song

The rare old mGountain dew

I turned my faDce away

And GdreamedA about Dyou A

Got on a lDucky one

Came in eGighteen to one

I’ve got aD feeling

This year for mAe and you

So happy CDhristmas

I love you bGaby

I can see a Dbetter time

When aGll our dAreams comeD true

D A D G

D A G A

They’ve gotD cars big Aas bars

They’ve gotB rivers Gof gold

But the wDind goes right through you

It’s no place for the Aold

When you Dfirst took my Bmhand

On a Dcold Christmas Geve

DYou promised me

Broadway wasA waiting for Dme

You were hDandsome

You were pretty

Queen of New York CAity

When the bDand finished Gplaying

They hAowled out forD more

DSinatra was swinging,

All the drunks they were sAinging

We kiDssed on a cGorner

Then danAced through the Dnight

ThGe boys of the NYPD Achoir

WereD singing GalwayBm bay

And the bDells werGe ringingA out

For Christmas Dday

D A G A

D A G A

YouD’re a bum

You’re a punk

You’re an old slut on Ajunk

Lying tDhere almost Gdead on aA drip in thDat bed

You scDumbag, you maggot

You cheap lousy fAaggot

Happy ChrDistmas your Garse

I pray GAod its our lDast

ThGe boys of the NYPD choir

WereD singing GalwayB bay

And the bDells werGe ringingA out

For Christmas Dday A

I could have Dbeen someone

Well so could Ganyone

You took my drDeams from me

When I first fAound you

I kept them with me bDabe

I put them Gwith my own

Can’t make itD all alone

I’ve bGuilt my Adreams aroundD you

ThGe boys of thBme NYPD Achoir

WereD singing GalwayBm bay

And the bDells werGe ringingA out

For Christmas Dday
