It's coming on ChristmasThey're cutting down treesThey're putting up reindeerAnd singing songs of joy and peaceI wish I had a river I could skate away onBut it don't snow hereIt stays pretty greenI'm going to make a lot of moneyThen I'm going to quit this crazy sceneI wish I had a river I could skate away onI wish I had a river so longI would teach my feet to flyI wish I had a river I could skate away onShe tried hard to help meYou know, she put me at easeAnd she loved me so naughtyMade me weak in the kneesOh, I wish I had a river I could skate away onI'm so hard to handleI'm selfish and I'm sadNow I've gone and lost the best babyThat I ever ever hadI wish I had a river I could skate away onOh, I wish I had a river so longI would teach my feet to flyI wish I had a riverI made my baby say goodbyeIt's coming on ChristmasThey're cutting down treesThey're putting up reindeerAnd singing songs of joy and peaceI wish I had a river I could skate away onI wish I had a river so longI would teach my feet to flyI wish I had a river so longI would teach my feet to flyI wish I had a river I could skate away on
