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
