Silver Bells 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 ev'ry street corner you'll hear, Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them sing. 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, Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day. Up On The Housetop Up on the housetop reindeer pause Out jumps good old Santa Clause Down thru the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones Christmas joys. Chorus Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn't go! Up on the housetop Click, click, click Down thru the chimney with Good Saint Nick First comes the stocking Of little Nell Oh, dear Santa Fill it well Give her a dolly That laughs and cries One that will open And shut her eyes Repeat Chorus Next comes the stocking Of little Will Oh, just see what A glorious fill Here is a hammer And lots of tacks Also a ball And a whip that cracks Repeat Chorus
