They've got cars

Big as bars

It's no place for the old

On a cold Christmas Eve

Broadway was waiting for me

Queen of New York City

When the band finished playing

Sinatra was swinging

All the drunks they were singing
   D             G
We kissed on the corner

Then danced through the night
    G             Bm A
The boys of the NYPD choir
     D               Bm
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
        D          G
And the bells were ringing

Out for Christmas day

You're an old slut on junk
       D            G         A
Living there almost dead on a drip
        D
In that bed

You took my dreams

From me when I first found you

I've built my dreams around you
