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
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 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 rush
this is santa's big day
and above all the bustle you'll 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 will be christmas day
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 will be christmas day
soon it will be christmas
soon it will be christmas day
