City sidewalks  Busy sidewalks  Dressed in holiday style  In the air there's a feeling like Christmas    Children laughing  People passing  Meeting smile after smile  And on every street corner you hear    Silver bells, silver bells  It's Christmas time in the city  Ring-a-ling, hear them sing  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 bunch  This is Santa's big scene  And above all this bustle you hear    Silver bells, silver bells  It's Christmas time in the city  Ring-a-ling, hear them sing  Soon it will be Christmas day
