text: Comin on Christmas
  Theyre cuttin down trees
  Theyre puttin up reindeer
  And singin songs of joy and peace
  Oh, I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  But it dont snow here
  It stays pretty green
  Im gonna make a lotta money
  Then Im gonna quit this crazy scene
  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 cry
  He tried hard to help me
  You 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
  Im so hard to handle
  Im selfish and Im sad
  And now Ive 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
  Its comin on Christmas
  Theyre cuttin down trees
  Theyre puttin up reindeer
  And singin songs of joy and peace
  Oh, I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
