City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style, in the air there's a feelin' of Christmas. Children laughin', people passin', 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, ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it'll be Christmas day. Strings of streetlights, even stoplights, blink of bright red and green, as the shoppers rush home with their treasure. Hear the snow crunch, see the huge bunch, this is Santa's bleak scene, and above all this bustle you hear... Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it'll be Christmas day.
