Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas Day City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there's a feeling of Christmas Oh, children laughing, people passing Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas Day Strings of streetlights, even stoplights Blink of bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch, this is the Lord's big scene And above all the bustle you'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas Day Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas Day Merry Christmas
