(emotional piano music)

♪ It's coming on Christmas ♪

♪ They're cuttin' down trees ♪

♪ They're puttin' up reindeer ♪

♪ And singing songs of joy and peace ♪

♪ Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on ♪

♪ But 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 ♪

♪ 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 so weak in the knees ♪

♪ Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on ♪

♪ I'm so hard to handle ♪

♪ I'm selfish and I'm sad ♪

♪ Now I've gone and lost the best baby ♪

♪ That I ever had ♪

♪ Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on ♪

♪ Oh, 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 ♪

♪ It's coming 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 ♪
