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
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights

Blink of 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'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

Soon it will be Christmas day
