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
Hear them ring
Ring-a-ling
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of streetlights, 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’ll hear
Silver bells
Silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Hear them ring
Ring-a-ling
Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells
Silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Hear them ring
Ring-a-ling
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day
