Blue Ribbons Songtext
von The Paramounts

Today I went downtown
For just a look around
And I passed the window of Tiffany′s
As I stopped to look inside
I wished that I could buy my baby one of those diamond rings
And lots of other fancy things, oh


As I walked on down the block
I passed a ritzy shop
With all the latest Paris gowns
But I'm a daydreaming guy who
Can′t afford what he wants to buy
So I bought her somethin' from a little shop
That didn't cost an awful lot, oh

I want the best for my baby
Nothing′s too good for my girl, yeah
But all that I can give her
Is a love that lasts forever
And these blue ribbons for her curls, ha
Can′t buy her diamonds or pearls, hey now


I want the best for my baby
Hey, nothing's too good for my girl, yeah
But all that I can give her
Is a love that lasts forever
And these blue ribbons for her curls, ho
Can′t buy her diamonds or pearls, oh now
Just these blue ribbons for her curls
