[Verse 1]
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

[Verse 2]
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear...

[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 3]
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

[Verse 4]
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
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
