[00:08.14] It was Christmas Eve babe

[00:12.40] In the drunk tank

[00:16.90] An old man said to me,

[00:19.64] Won't see another one

[00:24.91] And then he sang a song

[00:30.14] The Rare Old Mountain Dew

[00:34.14] I turned my face away

[00:38.14] And dreamed about you

[00:42.39] Got on a lucky one

[00:47.14] Came in eighteen to one

[00:51.14] I've got a feeling

[00:55.39] This year's for me and you

[00:59.90] So happy Christmas

[01:04.14] I love you baby

[01:08.64] I can see a better time

[01:12.14] When all our dreams come true

[01:28.65] They've got cars

[01:29.89] Big as bars

[01:30.92] They've got rivers of gold

[01:32.15] But the wind goes right through you

[01:33.64] It's no place for the old

[01:34.90] When you first took my hand

[01:36.65] On a cold Christmas Eve

[01:38.15] You promised me

[01:39.14] Broadway was waiting for me

[01:41.14] You were handsome

[01:42.05] You were pretty

[01:42.80] Queen of New York City

[01:44.06] When the band finished playing

[01:45.80] They howled out for more

[01:47.30] Sinatra was swinging

[01:48.81] All the drunks they were singing

[01:50.05] We kissed on the corner

[01:51.56] Then danced through the night

[01:53.54] The boys of the NYPD choir

[01:55.80] Were singing 'Galway Bay'

[01:59.80] And the bells are ringing

[02:01.56] Out for Christmas day

[02:14.55] You're a bum

[02:15.30] You're a punk

[02:16.05] You're an old slut on junk

[02:17.30] Lying there almost dead

[02:19.05] On a drip in that bed

[02:20.55] You scumbag

[02:21.30] You maggot

[02:22.05] You cheap lousy faggot

[02:23.30] Happy Christmas your arse

[02:25.06] I pray God

[02:25.80] It's our last

[02:26.80] The boys of the NYPD choir

[02:29.55] Still singing 'Galway Bay'

[02:32.05] And the bells are ringing

[02:34.55] Out for Christmas day

[02:47.56] I could have been someone

[02:50.06] Well, so could anyone

[02:53.30] You took my dreams

[02:54.30] From me when I first found you

[02:59.55] I kept them with me babe

[03:02.80] I put them with my own

[03:05.31] Can't make it all alone

[03:07.80] I've built my dreams around you

[03:12.81] The boys of the NYPD choir

[03:16.54] Still singing 'Galway Bay'

[03:19.05] And the bells are ringing

[03:21.31] Out for Christmas day
