Chorus:
D# A#7
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
D#
Wrap your present to your darlin' from you
D#7 G#
Pretty pencils to write I love you
D# A#7 D#
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue.
D# A#7 D#
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him
D# A# D#
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
D#7 G#
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
F A#7
Hoping that you won't pass him by.
Should you stop? You better not,
you're much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
And in the distance the ringin' of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Chorus:
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darlin' from you
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty pencils to write I love you
Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
