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 Yep but it don't snow here It stays pretty green You're going to make a lot of money I space this crazy scene I wish I had a river And I could skate away on Oh I wish I had a river so high I could teach my feet to fly away yeah I wish I had a river I could skate away on But I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad and he think Although the only best baby That I ever had Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on He tried hard to help me That he put me at ease He loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Yeah I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh I wish I had a river so why I could teach my feet to fly away yeah I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry And I made my baby say goodbye And I wish I had a river I could skate away on I could skate away on I could skate away on
