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 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 a way on 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 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 a way on But I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad And I've gone and lost The best baby I ever had Oh I wish I had a river I could skate a way on 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 I made my baby say goodbye 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 (Dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year (dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year (dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) Merry, merry, merry Christmas (dum, dum, dum) And have yourself a happy new year
