silver bells

it's christmas time in the city

ring-a-ling

hear them ring

soon it will be christmas day. 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 stop lights

blink a bright red and green

as the shoppers rush

home with their treasures

hear the snow crunch

see the kids rush

this is santa's big day

and above all this bustle you'll hear

silver bells) the corner santa claus

it's busy now because

it's christmas time in the city

ring-a-ling

hear them ring

soon it will be christmas day. 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

very soon it will be christmas day.
