It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
|
They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
|
Oh, I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
|
|
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
|
I'm going to make a lot of money
|
And then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
|
Oh, I wish I had a river that 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 that 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, she made me weak in the knees
|
Oh, I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
|
|
Well, 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 that I could skate away on
|
|
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
|
I would teach my feet to fly
|
Oh, I wish I had a river that 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, singing songs of joy and peace
|
Oh, I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
|
Yes, away on...
