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.
