Lyrics
Ragman`s holiday
Its Christmas time in the city, Christmas ligts look so pretty, holiday graffiti on the wall...
On a beat up sofa loungin; after a hard days scroungin' Ragman was watchin' the fog roll in.
and daydreamed he was smokin' an expensive cuban, cigar like his ship had just sailed in...
It`s Christmas time in the city, Christmas lights look so pretty, holiday graffiti on the wall
If just once he could break even, cuz' it`s been a long cold evenin' and with barely a
drop in his beggin' cup
but wait, he sees large denominations, dead presidents god bless em'
if i`m dreamin' says he, i don`t want to wake up!
Its Christmas time in the city,Christmas lights look so pretty, holiday graffiti on the wall
and what it says is `peace on earth and good will to us all'
