    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.
    
    Got on a lucky one
    came in eighteen to one
    I got a feeling 
    this years 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
    where the wind blows right through you
    it's no place for the old  
    when you first took my hand on that cold Christmas Eve
    you promised my Broadway was waiting for me
    
    You're a bum, you're punk
    you're a 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 your last
    
    And the boys in the the NYPD choir
    still singing Galway Bay
    and the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day
    
    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
    
    And the boys in the NYPD choir
    still singing Galway Bay 
    and the bells are ringing out for Christmas Day...................
    
    Off the top of ma head........but just about right, I think.
