Pretty Paper

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...
