City sidewalks busy sidewalks

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Strings of street lights even stop lights
F
Blink a bright red and green
G7                       F          C
As the shoppers run home with their treasures
                                  Em
Hear the snow crunch see the kids bunch

This is Santa's big scene

And above all the bustle you hear

It's Christmas time in the city
                      F
Ring-a-ling hear them ring
G7                        C
Soon it will be Christmas day
