Fairytale of New York

Fairytale of New York - Merry Christmas

It was Christmas eve babe

In the drunk tank

An old man said to me

We 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 you and me

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

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 are ringing

Out for Christmas day

Christmas day
