Silver bells, silver bells
   it's Christmas time in the city
   ring-a-ling, 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
   meeting 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 street lights, even stop lights
   blink of bright red an' 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!
  
   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 . . . to fade
