Silver Bells
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll 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 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 ring
Soon it will be Christmas day
Christmas day is almost here
Take the time to breathe the air
The bells ring out, tell us about
How love was born this day
Silver bells
(The corner Santa Claus)
Silver bells
(He's busy now because)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
(It fills the winter air)
Hear them ring
(Hear them everywhere)
Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells
(The corner Santa Claus)
Silver bells
(He's busy now because)
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
(It fills the winter air)
Hear them ring
(Hear them everywhere)
Soon it will be Christmas day
