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 Christmastime in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring And soon it will be Christmas Day Strings of streetlights, 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 this bustle, you hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmastime in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas Day Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmastime in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas Day Soon it will be Christmas Day
