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 (Eve)


City street lights, even stoplights
Blinking 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)
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
