[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 1]
Crowded street, 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

[Bridge]
Should you stop better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance 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
Pretty Paper Pretty ribbons of blue
