City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughin', people passin',
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Silver bells (silver bells)
Silver Silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it'll be Christmas day
(Strings of street lights, even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green)
As the shoppers rush home
(Hear the snow crush, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big big scene)
And above all all this bustle you hear
(Silver bells) silver bells
(Silver bells) silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it'll be Christmas day
(Silver bells, silver bells)
