[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 will 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

City street lights, even stop lights

Blink of bright red an' 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 the bustle you will 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
