I've always loved that title, and thought it would work as a song for Joker in Batman:
'I'll decorate this city, in ribbons of blood,
On ev'ry single avenue, in ev'ry darkened street...
I'll decorate this city, in ribbons of blood,
With ev'ry single beating heart, from ev'ry soul I meet...
'Cos killing is my business, and business is good,
I'm hunting 'em down, in ev'ry damn neighbourhood...
So Merry Christmas Gotham, hope you like what I do
Merry Christmas Gotham, it's my one gift to you
Merry Christmas Gotham, hope you drown in the flood...
As I decorate this city, in ribbons, ribbons of blood'
My lyrics are more for a 'crooning' ballad, than rockabilly - LOL!
