City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feelin’ of Christmas
Children laughin’, people passin’
Meetin’ smile after smile
And on every street corner you’ll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of streetlights (Lights), even stoplights (Lights)
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crush (Ah), see the kids bunch (Ah)
This is Santa’s big scene
And above all the bustle you’ll hear
Silver bells (Silver bells, silver bells)
Silver bells (Silver bells, silver bells)
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, oh, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
