Lyrics:

Piano (4 Bar)

Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits, all alone, on the sidewalk
Hoping, you won't pass him by

Should you stop, better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
And in the distance, a 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.

Instrumental (16 Bar)

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.

Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
