It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
Won't see another one
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
[Verse 2: Shane MacGowan]
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
[Verse 3: Kirsty MacColl]
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
[Verse 4: Kirsty MacColl & Shane MacGowan & Together]
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: Shane Macgowan & Kirsty MacColl]
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing, "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas Day
[Verse 5: Kirsty MacColl & Shane MacGowan]
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
[Chorus: Shane Macgowan & Kirsty MacColl]
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing, "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas Day
[Verse 6: Kirsty MacColl & Shane MacGowan]
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
[Outro: Shane Macgowan & Kirsty MacColl]
The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing, "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas Day
Ia adalah malam Krismas, babe
Dalam tangki mabuk
Seorang lelaki tua berkata kepada saya
tidak akan melihat satu sama lain
Dan kemudian dia menyanyikan sebuah lagu
Rare Old Mountain Dew '
Saya hadapkan muka dan diriku
Dan bermimpi tentang anda
[Verse 2: Shane MacGowan]
Mendapat pada satu bertuah
Datang dalam lapan belas-sama-satu
Saya ada perasaan
tahun ini untuk saya dan anda
Jadi, Happy Krismas
Saya cintakan awak sayang
Saya boleh melihat masa yang lebih baik
Apabila semua impian kita menjadi kenyataan
[Verse 3: Kirsty MacColl]
Mereka telah mendapat kereta besar seperti bar, mereka telah mendapat sungai emas
Tetapi angin pergi kanan melalui anda, tidak tempat untuk lama
Apabila anda mula mengambil tangan saya pada malam Krismas sejuk
Anda berjanji saya Broadway menunggu saya
[Verse 4: Kirsty MacColl & Shane MacGowan & Together]
Kamu kacak!
Anda cukup, Queen of New York City
Apabila band ini selesai bermain
Mereka menjerit keluar untuk lebih
Sinatra telah berayun
Semua orang mabuk, mereka menyanyi
Kami mencium pada sudut
Kemudian menari sepanjang malam
[Chorus: Shane Macgowan & Kirsty MacColl]
Kanak-kanak lelaki koir NYPD yang
Menyanyi, "Galway Bay"
Dan loceng telah dering
Untuk Hari Krismas
[Ayat 5: Kirsty MacColl & Shane MacGowan]
Anda bum, anda berada punk
Anda seorang perempuan murahan lama di junk
Berbaring di sana hampir mati pada titisan di atas katil yang
Anda scumbag, anda Maggot
Anda murah, homo buruk
Happy Krismas, keldai anda
Saya berdoa kepada Tuhan ia terakhir kami
[Chorus: Shane Macgowan & Kirsty MacColl]
Kanak-kanak lelaki koir NYPD yang
Masih menyanyi, "Galway Bay"
Dan loceng yang berdering keluar
Untuk Hari Krismas
[Verse 6: Kirsty MacColl & Shane MacGowan]
Saya boleh menjadi seseorang
Nah, begitu juga sesiapa sahaja
Anda mengambil impian saya dari saya
Apabila saya mula-mula menemui anda
Aku memelihara mereka dengan saya, babe
Saya meletakkan mereka dengan saya sendiri
tidak boleh membuat ia bersendirian
Saya telah membina impian saya di sekeliling anda
[Outro: Shane Macgowan & Kirsty MacColl]
Kanak-kanak lelaki koir NYPD yang
Masih menyanyi, "Galway Bay"
Dan loceng yang berdering keluar
Untuk Hari Krismas
