Keating Ronan Fairy Tale In New York Lyrics

Fairy Tale In New York Lyrics

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

 '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

 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 a corner

 Then danced through the night

 

 [CHORUS:]

 The boys of 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

 Sl*t on junk

 Lying there almost

 Dead on a drip

 In that bed

 

 You scum bag

 You maggot

 You're cheap and you're haggard

 Happy Christmas your arse

 I pray God

 It's our last

 

 [Repeat chorus]

 

 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

 

 [Repeat chorus]

 

 Na na na na na na

 Na na na na na na

 Na na na na na na

 Na na na na na na

 

 Na na na na na na

 Na na na na na na

 Na na na na na na

 Na na na
