Pretty Paper:Roy Orbison(Christmas Song)
#15 in '63.

CHORUS:
                                   
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 blu..e.

#1.
                                
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.

#2.
                                   
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...

CHORUS: 
                                     
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 blu..e. 

REPEAT CHORUS:


A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
