City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
(Of Christmas)

Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile (smile after smile)
And on every street corner you'll hear

Whoa, those 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

Strings of street lights
Even stoplights
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 this bustle you'll hear
(Oh, don't you hear)

Whoa, those 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
