Fairytale Of New York!

Not enough air time this year. Normally being belted out from mid-September, I'm yet to hear it and today is 24th of November!

Agree totally L. Haven't heard it yet meself and it is the definitive Xmas song for me. Only one thing for it ............

Middeling, not a patch on "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby though....

Ara middeling will do but you're probably correct. Many thanks.....

It's the best Christmas song without doubt, absolutely love it.

Here is mine and Chris's edited version from a boring Spanish lesson:

Fairytale of York

It was Christmas Eve babe,
And by the fountain,
And old man said to me,
‘Which ways the Minster?’
I pointed in the air,
And said ‘it’s over there’
Then turned and walked away,
Towards St Helen’s Square.

Got on a park and ride,
Went to the river side,
I got that feeling,
I love my River Ouse,
So Happy Christmas,
I love you baby,
I can see a better time,
We’ll go on a YorkBoat cruise.

The cars drive through Bars,
They’ve got a big city wall,
But there’s too many pigeons,
And I don’t like Tang Hall,
When you first took my hand,
On that cold Christmas Eve,
You said Theatre Royal was waiting for me.

You were handsome,
You were pretty,
You supported York City,
When the buskers where playing,
We howled out for more,
Shed Seven were swinging,
All the tourists were singing,
We kissed outside Betty’s,
Then queued through the night.

The boys of the Minster Cloister Choir,
Are eating their Nestle,
And the bells are ringing out,
For Christmas Day.

You’re a bum,
You’re a punk,
You’re an old slot of junk,
Lying there almost dead
As a drip on that bed
You scumbag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas you arse
I pray to God it’s our last.

The boys of the Minster Cloister Choir,
Are down at the railway,
And the bells are ringing out,
For Christmas Day.

I could have been someone,
Well so could anyone,
You took my dreams from me,
On Clifford’s Tower,
I kept them with me babe,
I put them with my own,
Can’t go it all alone,
I built my dreams around you.

The boys of the Minster Cloister Choir,
Are down at the railway,
And the bells are ringing out,
For Christmas Day.

Did you know that BBC Radio 1 actually banned this classic last year due to the "You're an auld slut...." line, after the uproar that caused they said they would play the song again but bleep out the word slut!
