[Chorus]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darlin' from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

[Verse 1]
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hopin' you won't pass him by

[Verse 2]
Should you stop? You better not, you're much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
And in the distance the ringin' of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

[Chorus]
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your prеsents to your darlin' from you
Pretty pencils to writе I love you
Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

[Outro]
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
