| 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 streets, busy feet hustle by you
|
| Downtown shoppers Christmas is night
|
| There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
|
| Hoping that 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, oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue |
