Silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city, ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling, hear them ring, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day. City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style, in the air, there's a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, greeting 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, blinking 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'll hear silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city, ring-a-ling. Hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day. Very soon it will be Christmas day.
