(Jay Livingston/Ray Evans)



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'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 (Eve) 



City street lights, 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 the bustle you'll hear 



Silver bells, (Silver bells) 

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
