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
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
City streetlights even stoplights 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 the bustle you'll hear
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day
