Fairytale of New York - Lyrics
(The gargling)
It was Christmas Evening
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
And I had a feeling
This year's for you and me
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams will come true
They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through
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
You're handsome, you're 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 a corner
Then danced through the night
Well, the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day
You're a bum, you're a slum
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you faggot
You cheap lousy maggot
Happy Christmas my arse
I pray God it's our last
Well, the boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
On Christmas day
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
But I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all undone
I've built my dreams around you
Well, the boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
On Christmas day
Well, the boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells are ringing out
On Christmas day
... I love you Honeybonny

Hat William "happy Christmas MY arse gesungen???? Oder hab ich mich da verhört??? Weil es müsste dann doch eigentlich "YOUR arse" heissen, oder?

[@RAPALJEmusic]

Hallo Quintus, I werde dat auch noch mal nachhören. Magst du es wenn ich den Lyrics (Texte) dazu mache und auch beim CC (Untertitel)?

[@gumbaaufmbuhuu900]

RAPALJE Celtic Folk Music Gerne. Aber deswegen hatte ich es ja gar nicht geschrieben 😁

[@gumbaaufmbuhuu900]

RAPALJE Celtic Folk Music Mir war es nur aufgefallen, nachdem ich von der Pogues Original Version zu eurer gekommen bin😅

[@RAPALJEmusic]

Bei manche lieder wird warscheinlich ein bisschen was anderes gesungen als anderen. Ich werde heute abend den lyrics noch rein machen..
