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

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 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

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

As i walked back to the subway stairs
I had twenty eight dollars in change for fare
There was an old bag lady with an outstretched hand
And a small salvation army band
Playing angels we have heard on high
The first noel and o holy night
I folded up one dollar bill
And i tucked it down into the till

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

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

And it`s christmas time in the city
