[Verse 1]
Well I walked to town in the pouring rain
Paid my fare and I rode that train
To the station under the avenue
Hit the air at the stroke of noon
At the cross streets where I staked my claim
I played in tune with the winter rain
Collecting dimes and dollar bills
While the noisy traffic played the fills
[Chorus]
And it's Christmas time in the city
When the air is filled with cheer
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year
[Verse 2]
Well the vendors huddled and the taxis honked
As I played for change beneath the neon clock
Was dressed up looking like a Christmas tree
Blinking down on that busy street
When the crowd thinned out and the rain had quit
And my fingers felt cold and stiff
I took their money and I closed my case
And I headed back towards home again
[Chorus]
And it's Christmas time in the city
When the air is filled with cheer
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year
Well I walked to town in the pouring rain
Paid my fare and I rode that train
To the station under the avenue
Hit the air at the stroke of noon
At the cross streets where I staked my claim
I played in tune with the winter rain
Collecting dimes and dollar bills
While the noisy traffic played the fills
[Chorus]
And it's Christmas time in the city
When the air is filled with cheer
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year
[Verse 2]
Well the vendors huddled and the taxis honked
As I played for change beneath the neon clock
Was dressed up looking like a Christmas tree
Blinking down on that busy street
When the crowd thinned out and the rain had quit
And my fingers felt cold and stiff
I took their money and I closed my case
And I headed back towards home again
[Chorus]
And it's Christmas time in the city
When the air is filled with cheer
And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year
