River

[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
