It’s Coming on Christmas

Thank You Joni Mitchell for these Words & all the Music!

It’s coming on Christmas
they’re cuttin’ down trees.
They’re puttin’ up reindeer
and singin’ songs of joy and peace,

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

But it don’t snow here;
stays pretty green.
I’m gonna make a lot of money,
then I’m gonna quit this crazy scene,

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
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 cry.

He tried hard to help me,
you know, he put me at ease
and he loved me so naughty,
made me weak in the knees,

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

I’m so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad,
Now I’ve gone and lost
the best baby
that I ever had.

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

I made my baby say good-bye.

It’s coming on Christmas
they’re cuttin’ down trees.
They’re puttin’ up reindeer
and singin’ songs of joy and peace,

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

    Wow - Thanks Torlla! I was wondering about the penguins that we’ve been hearing so much about. Torlla, the only blogger from New Zealand that I know, heck - the only person from New Zealand that I “know” - was kind enough to post about New Zealand’s penguins on his blog for me.

    He’s posted a link there for New Zealand penguins that has penguin webcams, games and all kinds of information about penguins.
    Thanks Again!

    Hey, did you know Barry Manilow released this song a couple of years ago at Christmas!

    What is this world coming to?
