[Intro: Bill Weisband]
Emily, would you like to play some Christmas music for us?
Why don't you put on a Christmas CD?
Okay, actually I'd love to hear Joni Mitchell

[Verse 1: Bill Weisband]
It's comin' on Christmas, they're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer, singin' songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 2: Both]
It don't snow here, it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money, gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus: Both]
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

[Verse 3: Emily Weisband]
He tried hard to help me, you know he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty, made me weak in thе knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[Verse 4: Emily Weisband]
I'm so hard to handle, I'm sеlfish, I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Chorus: Emily Weisband, Both]
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

[Bridge: Emily Weisband, Bill Weisband]
Ooh
Oh, no
Emily, can you say "Merry Christmas" to everybody?
Merry Christmas

[Outro: Both, Bill Weisband, Both]
It's comin' on Christmas, they're cuttin' down trees
Puttin' up reindeer, singin' songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river, a river I could skate away on
