Silver bells, 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 street lights, even stoplights   Blinkin' 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 day   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      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   Soon it will be Christmas day
