Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your present to your darlin' from you Pretty pencils to write I love you Oh, oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh There he sits all alone on the sidewalk Hoping that you won't pass him by
Should you stop? Better not, much to busy You'd better hurry, my, how time does fly And in the distance, the ringing of laughter And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your present to your darlin' from you Pretty pencils to write I love you Oh, oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Oh, oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
