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 Strings of streetlights, even stoplights, 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 scene And above all this 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 Soon it will be Christmas day La da da da, la da da da City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Silver bells, strings of streetlights, even stoplights
