It was christmas eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me: won't see another one And then they 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 me and you So happy christmas I love you baby I can see a better time Where all our dreams come true. They got cars big as bars They 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 yelled out for more Sinatra was swinging all the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night. And the boys from the NYPD choir were singing Galway Bay And the bells were ringing out for christmas day. You´re a bum you´re a punk You´re an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy christmas your arse I pray god it´s our last. And the boys of the NYPD choir's still 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 out alone I´ve built my dreams around you And the boys of the NYPD choir's still singing Galway Bay And the bells are ringing out For christmas day.

You bring it up in conversation, so i drag it down into the bar. Cause all this talk of making babies is pushing me a little bit too far. But then your lights come on, when your driving home, in the evening after work. So this christmas please be patient, for your present for our child. Cause who knows this time next year, he may be wrapped up in your arms. Long nights are getting colder, i'm losing you in the dark. I search for fingers through your mittens, dont let go, dont give up. But then your lights come on when your driving home in the evening after work. So this christmas please be patient, for your present for our child. Cause who knows this time next year, he may be wrapped up in your arms. Remember christmas in the 80's, whams last christmas on the box. No future worries and the elders, seemed like giants as the watched old repeats on Top of the pops. So this christmas please be patient, be patient for our child. Cause who knows this time next year he may be wrapped up in your arms. So this christmas please be patient, for your present for our child. Cause who knows this time next year, he may be wrapped up in your arms. Yeah we may be getting older, but to me your still brand new. God i hope we make the new year, and we're celebrating too. So this christmas please be patient, be patient for our child. Cause who knows maybe next year, we'll have a baby in our house.
