It's coming on Christmas |
|
They're cutting down trees |
|
They're putting up reindeer |
|
And singing songs of joy and peace |
|
Oh, I wish I had a river |
|
I could skate away on |
|
But it don't snow here |
|
It stays pretty green |
|
I'm going to make a lot of money |
|
Then I'm going to 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 |
|
She tried hard to help me |
|
You know, she put me at ease |
|
And she loved me so naughty |
|
Made me weak at 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 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 |
|
It's coming on Christmas |
|
They're cutting down trees |
|
They're putting up reindeer |
|
And singing songs of joy and peace |
|
Oh, I wish I had a river |
|
I could skate away on |
