It's coming on christmas

Cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

Singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on.

It don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lot of money

Then I'm 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.

It's coming on christmas

Cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

Singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
