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

Silver bells (Silver Bells)
Silver bells (Silver Bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them sing (Hear them sing)
Soon it will be Christmas day

Strings of streetlights
Even stoplights
Blinking bright red and green
As the people rush home with their treasure

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 sing (Hear them sing)
Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells (Silver Bells)
Silver bells (Silver Bells)
I miss the wide open country
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Call home see
I will be going there someday
Silver bells (Silver Bells)
Silver bells (Silver Bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them sing (Hear them sing)
Soon it will be Christmas day
