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 hear

(Silver bells) silver bells (silver bells) silver bells it's Christmas time in the city
(Ring a ling) ring a ling (hear them ring) hear them ring soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of street lights even stop lights blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crush see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene and above all this bustle you hear
(Silver bells) silver bells
