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)
Silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
Swings of streetlights, even stop lights
Blinking 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 this bustle, you'll hear (you'll hear)
Silver bells (silver bells)
Silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmastime in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling)
Oh, hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be
Christmas (Christmas day)
Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be
Christmas (Christmas day)
Gonna be, gonna be, gonna be
Christmas (Christmas day)
Gonna be, gonna be
Silver bells
Silver bells
It's Christmastime in the city (in the city)
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling)
Oh, hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
