Christmas in the drunk tank

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
And 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

Pre_chorus:

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 the 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...
