It's coming on Christmas, they’re
F            C
 cutting down trees
         F              C
They're putting up reindeer
            F       C
And singing songs of joy and peace
      Am                        
Oh, I wish I had a river I could

skate away on

    F        C             F     
But it don't snow here, it stays 
       C
pretty green
             F             C
I'm going to make a lot of money
                  F               
Then I'm going to quit this crazy
