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 street lights
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 this 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
Oh silver bells silver bells
Silver bells silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Oh ring a ling ring a ling
Oh hear them ring
Hear them ring
Soon it will be christmas day
Hmm silver bells silver bells
Oh no silver bells
Cause it is christmas time
In the beautiful city
Ring a ling ring a ling
Won't you hear them ring
Hear them ring
Soon it will be christmas day
All those silver bells
All those beautiful silver bells
Cause it's christmas time
It's christmas time in the city
Oh ring a ling
As I hear them ring
Soon it will be christmas day
Oh yeah yeah
