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

    City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
    Dressed in holiday style
    In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
    Hear the snow crunch, see the kids rush
    This is Santa's big day
    And above all this bustle you'll hear

    Silver bells (the corner santa claus)
    Silver bells (is busy now because)
    It's Christmas time in the city
    Ring-a-ling (it fills the winter air)
    Hear them ring (you hear it everywhere)
    Soon it will be Christmas day

    City sidewalks, busy sidewalks (silver bells)
    Dressed in holiday style (silver bells)
    In the air, there's a feeling of Christmas (it's Christmas time in the city)
    Children laughing, people passing (ring-a-ling)
    Meeting smile after smile (hear them ring)
    Very soon it will be Christmas day Writer/s: Jay Livingston, Ray Evans
