"Silver Bells" lyrics
(originally by William Frawley)
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 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 stoplights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers run home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle, you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in Chicago
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas Day
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 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 stoplights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers run home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle, you hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in Chicago
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas Day
