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 sing
   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 sing
   Soon it will be Christmas day
