It's a marshmallow world in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground It's time for play, it's a whipped cream day I wait for it the whole year 'round Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly In the arms of the evergreen trees And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head It's shining so your nose won't freeze Oh, the world is your snowball, see how it grows That's how it goes, whenever it snows The world is your snowball just for a song Get out and roll it along Oh, it's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts Take a walk with your favorite girl It's a sugar date, what if spring is late In winter it's a marshmallow world It's a marshmallow world in the winter When the snow comes to cover the ground It's time for play, it's a whipped cream day I wait for it the whole year round (Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly In the arms of the evergreen trees) And the sun is red, like a pumpkin head It's shining so your nose won't freeze Oh, the world is your snowball, see how it grows That's how it goes, whenever it snows The world is your snowball just for a song Get out and roll it along It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts Take a walk with your favorite girl It's a sugar date, what if spring is late In winter it's a marshmallow world
