Pretty Paper

[Chorus] 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 [Verse] Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh There he sits all alone on the sidewalk Hoping you won't pass him by Should you stop? Better not, much too busy You're in a hurry, my how time does fly In the distance is the ringing of laughter And in the midst of the laughter, he cries [Chorus] Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Wrap your presents to your darling from you Pretty pencils to write I love you Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
