Pretty Paper
The pretty paper
Pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty papers, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write, "I love you"
Pretty papers, pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by you
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
And there he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hopin' that you won't pass him by
Should you stop? Better not, must too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
And in the distance, the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter, he cries
Pretty papers, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write, "I love you"
Pretty papers, pretty ribbons of blue
