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 
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
