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 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 mallers 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 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.
