[Verse 1]

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

Singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 2]

Now it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lot of money

And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus]

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Hmm, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

[Verse 1]

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
