Lyrics[]

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-ling¹ (ring-a-ling)

Just hear them ring (hear them ring)

Soon it will be Christmas Day

(City street lights, even stoplights

Blinking 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

Silver bells (silver bells)

Soon it will be Christmas Day
