It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
Oh
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money and I'm gonna 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 could teach my feet 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
Always put me at ease
You loved me so naughty baby
Made me weak in the knees
Oh
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
And I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
And I've gone and lost the best baby that I have ever had
Oh
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long I could teach my feet 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
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
Oh
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
