And dreamed about you I kept them with me, babe Sinatra was swinging An old man said to me The boys of the NYPD choir When all our dreams come true Out for Christmas day You cheap lousy fagot The boys of the NYPD choir Songwriters: Jeremy Finer, Shane Macgowan Queen of New York City We kissed on the corner Out for Christmas day Well, so could anyone I've built my dreams around you Happy Christmas, your arse Won't see another one I've got a feeling On the cold Christmas Eve All the drunks, they were singing They've got rivers of gold Are singing 'Galway Bay' This year's for me and you And the bells are ringing I could have been someone I pray God, it's our last You took my dreams from me Broadway was waiting for me Out for Christmas day And then he sang a song You scum bag, you maggot I turned my face away When you first took my hand The rare old mountain dew You're a bum, you're a punk When the band finished playing They've got cars, big as bars I love you, baby Got on a lucky one Are singing 'Galway Bay' You promised me Then danced through the night The boys of the NYPD choir When I first found you And the bells are ringing And the bells are ringing You're an old slut on junk Publishers: PERFECT SONGS LTD, UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBL. MGB LTD. It was Christmas Eve, babe On a drip in that bed In the drunk tank So happy Christmas Living there almost dead But the wind goes right through you It's no place for the old Can't make it all alone I can see a better time You were handsome, you were pretty Came in eighteen to one Are singing 'Galway Bay' They howled out for more I put them with my own
