[Db] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] Pretty papers, pretty ribbons [Bb] of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling [Eb] from you
Pretty pencils to write I [Ab] love you
[Eb] Pretty papers, [Bb] pretty ribbons [Eb] of blue
Crowded [Bb] streets, busy feet, [Eb] hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, [Bb]
Christmas [Eb] is nigh
There he sits all alone [Ab] on the sidewalk
[F] Hoping that you won't [Bb] pass him by
Should [Eb] you stop, [Bb]
better not, [Eb] much too busy
You'd better hurry, [Bb] my how [Eb] time does fly
And in the distance, the ringing [Ab] of laughter
[Eb] And in the midst [Bb] of the laughter, [Eb] he cries
Pretty papers, pretty ribbons [Bb] of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling [Eb] from you
Pretty pencils to write I [Ab] love you
Pretty
[Eb] papers, [Bb] pretty ribbons [Eb] of blue
