Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
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
(In the city it's Christmas time)
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
(In the city it's Christmas time)
[Verse 3]
Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
[Verse 4]
Strings of street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
[Verse 5]
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you'll hear
(In the city it's Christmas time)
[Verse 6]
Silver bells, silver bells
It's christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
[Verse 7]
In the city it's Christmas time
In the city it's Christmas time
In the city it's Christmas time
In the city
