You were pretty A Queen of New York City D G When the band finished playing A D They howled out for more D Sinatra was swinging A All the drunks they were singing D G We kissed on the corner A D Then danced through the night [Hook]

D You're a bum D You're a punk A You're an old tramp on junk D G A Living there almost dead on a drip D In that bed D You scum bag You maggot A You cheap lousy gay D G Happy Christmas your arse A I pray God D A D It's our last [Hook]
G Bm A The boys of the NYPD choir D Bm Still singing 'Galway Bay' D G And the bells are ringing A D G D A D A D Out for Christmas Day [Verse]
