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

[Verse 1]
The city sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas
The 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
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day

[Verse 2]
The 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 rush
This is Santa’s big day
And above all this bustle you'll hear
[Chorus]
Silver bells (Silver bells), silver bells (Silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day

[Instrumental Break]

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

[Outro]
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
