Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.

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. Soon it will be Christmas day...
