Pretty paper
Pretty ribbons
Of blue
Wrap your presents
To your darlin'
From you
Pretty pencils to write
''I love you''
Pretty paper
Pretty ribbons
Of blue
Crowded streets
Busy feet
Hustle by him
Downtown shoppers
Christmas is nigh
And there he sits
All alone
On the sidewalk
Hopin' you won't
Pass him by
Should you stop
Better not
Much too busy
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 presents
To your darling
From you
Pretty pencils to write
''I love you''
Pretty paper
Pretty ribbons
Of blue
Oh.. pretty paper
Pretty ribbons
Of blue..
