It's coming on Christmas,
And they're cutting down trees.
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace,
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
It don't snow here,
Stays pretty green.
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And quit this crazy scene.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I wish I had a river so long,
I would teach my feet how to fly.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I made my baby cry.
You tried hard to help me,
You put me at ease.
You loved me so naughty,
It made me weak in the knees.
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I'm so hard to handle,
I'm selfish and I'm sad.
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I've ever had.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I wish I had a river so long,
I would teach my feet how to fly.
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I made my baby say goodbye.
It's coming on Christmas
And they're cutting down trees.
Putting up reindeer,
And singing songs of joy and peace.
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
