-4< -3 -5 -4< -5
then danced through the night
-7 -8 -8 -8 -8 9< -9 -9 9<
the boys of the N Y P D Choir

were singing Galway Bay
-5 6 -6< -5 7 -6< 6
and the bells were ringing out
-5 -6< 6 -5
for christmas day

Next verse lyric

you're a bum you're a punk
your an 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 our last

-7 -8 -8 -8 -8 9< -9 -9 9<
the boys of the N Y P D Choir

you took my dreams from me when I first found you
-3 -5 -4< 6 -5 -5 -7 -9 9< 9< -8 -8
