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 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 street lights, even stop lights

Blink a 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 the bustle you hear



Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, 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
