/ 5
Song updated, review now!
verse 1
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing

verse 2
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city

verse 3
Ring-a-ling hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights
Blink of bright red and green

verse 4
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch

verse 5
This is Santa's big scene
And above all the bustle you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city

outro
Ring-a-ling hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Soon it will be Christmas day

About"Silver Bells" is a Christmas song composed by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans.

The song is started by William Frawley and then sung in the generally known version immediately thereafter by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell in the motion picture The Lemon Drop Kid, which was filmed in July and August 1950 and released in March 1951. The first recorded version was sung by Bing Crosby and Carol Richards on September 8, 1950, with John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra and the Lee Gordon Singers. The recording was released by Decca Records in October 1950. After the Crosby/Richards recording became popular, Hope and Maxwell were called back in late 1950 to reshoot a more elaborate production of the song.
