Lyrics:

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeers
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 gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
That it would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Ooh, I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
Y'know he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in 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 I've ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Ooh, I wish I had a river so long
That it would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Ooh, I made my baby cry
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeers
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Ooh, I wish I had a river so long
That it would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
