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
