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 would teach my feet to fly
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
I 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
Well, 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
Singin' songs of joy and peace
I wish, I had a river
I could skate away on
