text: Its coming on Christmas
  Theyre cutting down trees
  Theyre putting up reindeer
  And singing songs of joy and peace
  I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  But it dont snow here
  It stays pretty green
  Im gonna make a lot a 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 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
  And put me at ease
  He loved so naughty
  Maybe we can learn these
  I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
  Im so hard to handle
  Im selfish Im sad
  Now we gonna 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 to fly
  Oh 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
  Theyre putting up reindeer
  And singing songs of joy and peace
  I wish I had a river
  I could skate away on
