(Raymond B. Evans, Jay Livingston)



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



Chorus:

Silver bells, silver bells

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Hear them ring, hear them ring

Ring a ling, ring a ling

Soon it will be Christmas day



Chorus:

Silver bells, silver bells

Silver bells, silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Hear them ring, hear them ring

Ring a ling, ring a ling

Soon it will be Christmas day

Soon it will be Christmas day
