River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's comin' on Christmas They're cuttin' down trees They're puttin' up reindeer 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 Gonna make lots of 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 I could teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh, I made my baby cry [Verse 3] She tried hard to help me She put me at ease She loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Verse 4] But I'm so hard to handle I'm sеlfish and I'm sad And I've gone and lost The bеst baby I ever had Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] It's comin' on Christmas They're cuttin' down trees Puttin' up reindeer Singin' songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I wish I had a river, yeah I wish I had a river I could skate away on [Outro] (Dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year (Dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Ooh) (Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Ooh) (Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Ooh) (Dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year (Dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Ooh) (Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Wah-wah-wah-wah) (Dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (Dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year
