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

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Blink of 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
