So happy Christmas, I love you, baby. I can see a better time, When all our dreams come true." Kirsty: "They got cars big as bars, They got rivers of gold, But the wind goes right through you, It's no place for the old. When you first took my hand, On a cold Chrismtas Eve, You promised me Broadway Was waiting for me. You were handsome." Shane: "You were pretty, Queen of New York City." Both: "When the band finished playing, They held out for more. Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks, they were singing. We kissed on the corner, Then danced through the night. The boys in the NYPD choir Were singing 'Galway Bay,' And the bells were ringing out For Christmas Day." Shane: "I could have been someone." Kirsty: "Well, so could anyone. You took my dreams from me, When I first found you." Shane: "I kept them with me, babe. I put them with my own. Can't make it all alone. I built my dreams around you." Both: "The boys in the NYPD choir Still singing 'Galway Bay,' And the bells are ringing out For Christmas Day."

Through the years We all will be together, If the fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough. And have yourself a merry little Christmas now. :waves:: Hi Chickie!)

And the elves are no better than us. They all discuss You on the bus. Every year we curse and lay the blame, But the boss remains the same, So we play our reindeer games. Reindeer games after work. Comet, cut the cards, don't be a jerk. And Rudolph with your your nose so bright, Won't you just kiss my **** tonight? It's not that we're smarter than you. Hands rule the world. Hooves just won't do. All through time, slaves hated the king. The post office clerk Shot everything. So tonight we'll burn out like the flame Of the fire we can't tame And play our reindeer-- Lay the blame and play our reindeer-- Curse his fame and play our reindeer games. --Pat Godwin
