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'd better hurry,
My, how Time does fly 

Yeah, 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 with
“I love you” 
Oh, Pretty Paper,
Pretty Ribbons of blue
