[Verse 1] All the girls, they like their presents like their presents When boys wrap them up in ribbons, ribbons, ribbons Doesn't matter if they're precious or expensive if they're well thought out Sexed up, wrapped right Every time, get in line, and give me mine We like black, white, big, striped, polka-dotted, cafe-lotted Presents come in many sizes Wrap them up in ribbons
[Chorus] Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up
[Verse 2] I'm not a Hallmark card expression Need material attention Wrapped in ribbons, Richard Simmons Silly ribbons, ribbons, ribbons! If you can't afford the best Don't be stressed, take a rest Get a job, do it right It's my birthday all night We like black, white, big, striped, famous, super-sized ribbons Don't care what you put inside them Wrap it all in ribbons It's the lifestyle that I like I'll give you yours, you give me mine But don't forget to wrap them up in pretty, pretty ribbons
[Chorus] Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up
[Verse 3] Only difference between downtown and uptown Is therapy and valium Therapy and valium Not lying when I say this, there's a price to being famous Yeah, it's therapy and valium Therapy and valium

[Chorus] Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up in ribbons Wrap them presents up
[Outro] Wrap... Wrap them presents up, wrap them presents up Wrap...

“Ribbons” is a song written by Lady Gaga and Rob Fusari (Team Love Child) in 2006 during the sessions for Gaga’s debut album The Fame. This song remained on the cutting room floor because the 60’s vibe did not fit with the rest of the album.
