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 stop lights,
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers run 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.
Soon it will be Christmas day.
