"Pretty Paper"

 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 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

 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
