Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Oh, 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
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
Oh, they're playing

Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city (fa la la la la la la)
Oh, 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 in 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 day
And above all the bustle
You'll hear
Oh, they're playing

Silver bells (silver bells), oh, silver bells (silver bells)
Yeah, it's Christmas time in the city (fa la la la la la la)
Oh, ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Oh, soon we will come together
We're gonna love each other
Just let those silver bells play
Yeah, people around the world can dance to the sound
Of Christmas Day (Christmas Day)
Let them play all those

Silver bells (silver bells), oh, silver bells (silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city (fa la la la la la la)
Oh, ring-a-ling (ring-a-ling), I hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas, come on now

(Fa la la la la la la)

Yeah, soon it will be Christmas
Oh, Christmas Day
Hey, soon it will be, yeah, Christmas Day, yeah, yeah, yeah
