| 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
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'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
