|
It's comin' on Christmas |
|
They're cuttin' down trees |
|
They're puttin' up reindeer |
|
And singin' songs of joy and peace |
|
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 |
|
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene |
|
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 |
|
He tried hard to help me |
|
You know he put me at ease |
|
And he loved me so naughty |
|
Made me weak in the knees |
|
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 ever had |
|
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 comin' on Christmas |
|
They're cuttin' down trees |
|
They're puttin' up reindeer |
|
And singin' songs of joy and peace |
|
I wish I had a river |
|
I could skate away on |
