They've got cars

Big as bars

They've got rivers of gold

On a cold Christmas Eve

When the band finished playing

All the drunks they were singing

We kissed on the corner

Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir

And the bells were ringing

Out for Christmas day

I've built my dreams around you
