Camp Claude - Fairytale Of New York

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
"That 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
When all our dreams come true

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 a corner
And danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
Yeah, the bells were ringing out
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
Yeah, the bells were ringing out on Christmas day
On Christmas day
For Christmas day, 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
Yeah, the bells were ringing out
The boys of the NYPD choir were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
Yeah, the bells were ringing out on Christmas day
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
On Christmas day, on Christmas day, on Christmas day
