(The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

G7 C

Pretty pencils to write I love you

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him

D7 G

Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh

G7 C

There he sits all alone on the sidewalk

A A7 D D7

Hoping that you won't pass him by

G D7 G

Should you stop? Better not, much too busy

D7 G G7

You're in a hurry, my how time does fly

G G7 C

In the distance the ringing of laughter

G D7 G

And in the midst of the laughter he cries

G D

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

D7 D G

Wrap your presents to your darling from you

G7 C

Pretty pencils to write I love you

G D7 C G

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
