Silver bells
Silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells silver bells
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling ring a ling
Hear them ring hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights even stop lights
Blink in bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you'll hear
Silver bells silver bells
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling ring a ling
Hear them ring hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells silver bells
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling ooh hear them ring hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Ring a ling ring a ling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
