Lyrics:
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 hear:
              Silver bells, silver bells

            It's Christmas time in the city

             Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

            Soon it will be Christmas day
        Strings of street lights, even stop lights

            Blink a bright 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

          And above all this bustle you hear:
              Silver bells, silver bells

            It's Christmas time in the city

             Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

      Soon it will be Christmas day SILVER BELLS

           Jay Livingston and Ray Evans
           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 hear:
              Silver bells, silver bells

            It's Christmas time in the city

             Ring-a-ling, hear them ring

            Soon it will be Christmas day
    Strings of street lights, even stop lights

         Blink a bright red and green
