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
Yeah, but it don't snow here
Stays pretty green
You wanna make a lot of money
Split this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so high
I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
And I think, your's the only best, baby
That I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on
She tried hard to help me
Tried to put me at ease
She loved me so naughty
Made me weak in my knees
Yeah, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so high
I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
And I made my baby cry
And I made my baby say goodbye
And I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I could skate away on
I could skate away on
