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
