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 street lights, even stop lights
blink a bright red and green
as the shoppers rush home with their treasures
hear the snow crunch, see the kids hunch
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
