It's coming on Christmas

they're cutting down trees

they're putting up reindeer

and singing 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 a 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 

oh i wish i had a river

i could skate away on

i made my baby cry



He tried hard to help me 

and put me at ease

He loved so naughty 

maybe we can learn these

i wish i had a river 

i could skate away on



i'm so hard to handle

i'm selfish i'm sad 

now we gonna lost the best baby that ive ever had

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



It's coming on Christmas

they're cutting down trees

they're putting up reindeer

and singing songs of joy and peace

I wish i had a river

i could skate away on
