Pretty Paper Lyrics

(The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)
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
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 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
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
