(Jay Livingston/Ray Evans) Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling Hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day City side walks, busy side walks 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 hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Hear them ring Ring-a-ling Soon it will be Christmas day Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling Hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
