Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, (Ring-a-ling) Hear them ring (Ting-a-ling)
Soon it will be Christmas day
[Verse 2]
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
[Verse 3]
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear
[Verse 4]
Silver bells (Silver bells) silver bells (Silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
[Verse 5]
Strings of street lights, even stoplights
Blink of bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
[Verse 6]
Hear the snow crush, see the kids rush
This is Santa's big day
And above all this bustle you hear
[Verse 7]
Silver bells (The corner Santa Claus)
Silver bells (Is busy now because)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling (It fills the winter air)
Hear them ring (You hear it everywhere)
Soon it will be Christmas day
[Verse 8]
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks (Silver bells)
Dressed in holiday style (Silver bells)
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas (It's Christmas time in the city)
Children laughing, people passing (Ring-a-ling)
Meeting smile after smile (Hear them ring)
Very soon it will be Christmas day
