(Silver bells, silver bells)

(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 

Meeting smile after smile 

And on ev'ry 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 



(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 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



(Soon it will be Christmas day)...
