City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style
In the air, there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing, making 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
Blinkin' bright, light 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 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
The car of Santa Claus
Is busy now because
Soon it will be Christmas Day
It's Christmas time in the city
