Chorus:

Silver bells, Silver bells

Its Christmas time in the city,

Ring a ling, hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day.

City sidewalk, busy sidewalk

Dressed in holiday style

In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile

And on every street corner you’ll hear

(Chorus)

String of street lights, even stop lights

Blink the lights red and green

As the shoppers rush home with their treasures

Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch

This is Santa’s big scene

But above all this bustle you’ll hear

(chorus)
