Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Silver bells (Silver bells)
Silver bells (Silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (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 feelin' of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meetin' smile after smile
And on every street corner
You hear, oh, they're playin'
[Verse 3]
Silver bells (Silver bells)
Silver bells (Silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas Day
[Verse 4]
Strings of streetlights
Even stoplights
Blinkin' bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures, yeah
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids munch
This is Santa's big day
And above all the bustle you hear, oh, they're playin'
[Verse 5]
Silver bells (Silver bells)
Oh, silver bells (Silver bells)
Yeah, it's Christmastime in the city, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
Hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas Day
[Verse 6]
Oh, soon we will come together
We'll bond and love each other
Just let those silver bells play
Yeah, people around the world can dance to the sound
Of Christmas Day (Christmas Day)
[Verse 7]
Let them play all those silver bells (Silver bells)
Oh, silver bells (Silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city, oh
Ring-a-ling (Ring-a-ling)
I hear them ring (Hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas
Come on now
[Verse 8]
Yeah, soon it will be Christmas
Whoa, Christmas Day
Woo, aw, hey
Soon it will be
Christmas Day
Yeah, yeah, yeah
