Letra / Lyrics
FAIRYTALE OF NEW YORK - THE POGUES

MALE VOCAL
FEMALE VOCAL
TOGETHER
H: IT WAS
CHRISTMAS EVE BABE
IN THE DRUNK TANK
H: AN OLD MAN
SAID TO ME
WON'T SEE
ANOTHER ONE
H: AND THEN
HE SANG HIS SONG
THE RARE
OLD MOUNTAIN DEW
H: AND I TURNED
MY FACE AWAY
AND DREAMED
ABOUT YOU
H: GOT ON A LUCKY ONE
CAME IN EIGHTEEN TO ONE
I'VE GOT A FEELING
THIS YEAR'S FOR
ME AND YOU
H: SO HAPPY CHRISTMAS
I LOVE YOU BABY
I CAN SEE A BETTER TIME
WHEN ALL OUR
DREAMS COME TRUE
FEMALE VOCAL : 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
FEMALE VOCAL : WHEN YOU FIRST TOOK
MY HAND ON THAT COLD
CHRISTMAS EVE YOU
PROMISED ME BROADWAY
WAS WAITING FOR ME
FEMALE VOCAL : YOU WERE HANDSOME
HH: WHEN THE BAND FINISHED
PLAYING THEY HOWLED OUT
FOR MORE SINATRA WAS
SWINGING ALL THE DRUNKS
THEY WERE SINGING
HH: WE KISSED ON THE CORNER
THEN DANCED THROUGH
THE NIGHT THE BOYS
OF THE NYPD CHOIR
WERE SINGING 'GALWAY BAY'
HH: AND THE BELLS WERE
RINGING OUT
FOR CHRISTMAS DAY
FEMALE VOCAL : YOU'RE A BUM
YOU'RE A PUNK
FEMALE VOCAL : YOU SCUM BAG
YOU MAGGOT
YOU CHEAP LOUSY FAGGOT
HAPPY CHRISTMAS YOUR ARSE
I PRAY GOD IT'S OUR LAST
HH: THE BOYS OF
THE NYPD CHOIR
WERE SINGING 'GALWAY BAY'
AND THE BELLS ARE RINGING
OUT FOR CHRISTMAS DAY
H: I COULD HAVE
BEEN SOMEONE
FEMALE VOCAL : WELL SO COULD ANYONE
YOU TOOK MY DREAMS
FROM ME
WHEN I FIRST FOUND YOU
H: 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
HH: THE BOYS OF
THE NYPD CHOIR
WERE SINGING 'GALWAY BAY'
AND THE BELLS WERE RINGING
OUT FOR CHRISTMAS DAY
H: YOU WERE PRETTY
QUEEN OF NEW YORK CITY
H: YOU'RE AN OLD SLUT ON JUNK
LIVING THERE ALMOST DEAD
ON A DRIP IN THAT BED
