Jon Bon Jovi - Fairytale of New York
Copied!edit Lyrics
★ Intro ★
It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
“Won’t see another one”
And he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got 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 1 ★
They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve rivers of gold
The wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old
You first to my hand on that 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 started playing, they howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging
All the drunks, they were singing
When we kissed on the corner, then danced through the night
★ Chorus ★
The boys from the NYPD choir
Were singing Galway Bay
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas Day
★ Verse 2 ★
You’re a bum, you’re a braggart
You’ve lost all your swagger
And the word around town, you ain’t much in bed
Caught a squirrel cause you’re nuts
You’re a kick in the gut
Happy Christmas, my arse
I pray God it’s our last
★ Chorus ★
The boys from the NYPD choir
Still singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas Day
★ Verse 3 ★
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
And put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you
★ Chorus ★
The boys from the NYPD choir
Still singing Galway Bay
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas Day
It was Christmas Eve, babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me
“Won’t see another one”
And he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got 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 1 ★
They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve rivers of gold
The wind goes right through you, it’s no place for the old
You first to my hand on that 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 started playing, they howled out for more

All the drunks, they were singing
When we kissed on the corner, then danced through the night
★ Chorus ★
The boys from the NYPD choir

And the bells are ringing out
