City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air There's a feeling of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile And on ev'ry 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 Yes, I remember The silver bells of my youth. From the streets of Brooklyn They rang up through my window, And made me smile Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the mallers rush home With their treasures Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this 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 Soon it will be Christmas day
