text: Its coming on Christmas
  And theyre cutting down trees
  Im putting up reindeer
  And singing songs of joy and peace
  Oh, I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  But it dont snow here
  Stays pretty green
  Im gonna make a lot of money
  Then Im gonna quit this crazy scene
  I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  I wish I had a river so long
  I would teach my feet how to fly
  Oh, I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  Im so hard to handle
  Im selfish and Im sad
  Now Ive gone and lost the best, baby
  That Ive ever had
  I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  I wish I had a river so long
  I would teach my feet how to fly
  I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  I made my baby say goodbye
  Its coming on Christmas
  Theyre cutting down trees
  And putting up reindeer
  And singing songs of joy and peace
  I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
