(Raymond B. Evans, Jay Livingston)

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 every street corner you'll hear

Chorus:
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Hear them ring, hear them ring
Ring a ling, ring a ling
Soon it will be Christmas day

Chorus:
Silver bells, silver bells
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Hear them ring, hear them ring
Ring a ling, ring a ling
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day
