[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Silver bells (Silver bells)
Silver bells (Silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city (Those silver bells go)
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day

[Verse 2]
Strings of streetlights, 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'll hear

[Chorus]
Silver bells (Silver bells)
Silver bells (Silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city (Those silver bells go)
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Silver bells (Silver bells)
Silver bells (Silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city (Those silver bells go)
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
