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

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day

String of street lights, even stop lights 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 day

And above all the bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day
