Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), hear them ring (hear them ring)
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 
Greeting smile after smile 
And on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon?it?will be Christmas?day

Strings of streetlights, even stop lights
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 this bustle you'll hear 

Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon?it?will be Christmas?day
Very soon it will be Christmas day
