[Verse 1]
Comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer
And singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
[Verse 2]
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lotta money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
[Chorus]
I wish I had a river so long

Oh, I wish I had a river

Oh, 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
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
[Verse 5]
It's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer
And singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
