[ Featuring Sharon Jones, the Dap-Kings ]
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring- a- ling hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there is a feel of Christmas (in the city is Christmas time)
Children laughing
People passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear (in the city is Christmas time)
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 (in the city is Christmas time)
Silver bells silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city (in the city, in the city)
Ring-a-ling hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
(In the city is Christmas time)
(In the city is Christmas time)
(In the city is Christmas time)
(In the city)
