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

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks 
Dressed in holiday style 
In the air there's, (In the air there's) 
A feeling 
Of Christmas 
(A feling of christmas) 
Children laughing 
People passing 
Meeting smile, meeting smile, after smile 
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear 

Strings of street lights 
Even stop lights 
Blinking bright, blinking bright red and green yeah yeah 
As the shoppers 
Rush home, with treasures 
(Christmas times as time for giving) 
Hear the snow crunch 
See the kids bunch 
This is Santa's big scene 
And above all, this bustle 
You will hear, oh, oh, ooh
