Verse 2:
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) Silver bells, ( silver bells)
It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling, (ring-a-ling) hear them ring (hear them ring)
Soon it will be Christmas day
