| 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
|
| Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
|
| Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
|
| There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
|
| He’s just hoping he won’t pass him by Should I stop? |
| Better not, much too busy
|
| I’m in a 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
|
| Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
