City sidewalks, busy sidewalks   Dressed in holiday style   In the air there is a feeling of Christmas   Children laughing, people passing   Greeting 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   Here the snow crunch, see the kids bunch   It Santa's big day   And above all the hustle 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      Silver bells, silver bells   It's Christmas time in the city   Ring-a-ling, hear them ring   Soon it will be Christmas Day      Soon it will be Christmas Day   Soon it will be Christmas Day
