Think it's literally due to Shane MacGowan sounding completely smashed, I'm not even sure what his words are in the song. Comes to christmas eve and everyone is pissed, slurring in the same manner and its a good excuse for everyone to pretend they can sing too.

Plus, there's no cheerier dancing than irish dancing.
