It's coming on christmas

They're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace

Oh i wish i had a river i could skate away on

But it don't snow here

Stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lot of money

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 would teach my feet to fly

Oh i wish i had a river i could skate away on

I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me

She put me at ease

She loved me so naughty
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 to fly

Oh i wish i had a river i could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

Say goodbye

It's coming on christmas

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
Away on

It's coming on christmas
