(Jay Livingston and Ray Evans ) (Silver bells, silver bells) (Soon it will be Christmas day) City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air There's a feeling Of Christmas Children laughing People pa**ing 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 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'll hear) Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day (Soon it will be Christmas day)...
