Marshmallow World

About Marshmallow World

"A Marshmallow World" (sometimes called "It's a Marshmallow World") is a popular song that was written in 1949 by Carl Sigman (lyrics) and Peter DeRose (music). It was published the following year by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. The song is about winter and is commonly regarded as a Christmas song, although the lyrics make no mention of the holiday. The song compares a snowfall to marshmallows covering the ground. It also describes the snowfall as whipped cream and the sun as a big red pumpkin head. The singer "waits for it the whole year 'round." The song was first a hit for Bing Crosby (backed by the Lee Gordon Singers and Sonny Burke and his Orchestra). Crosby's version was recorded in 1950. It peaked at number 24 on the pop singles chart in January 1951. Other artists who recorded the song include Ray Anthony, Vic Damone, Johnny Desmond, Arthur Godfrey, Vaughn Monroe, Brenda Lee and Dean Martin. more »

[Chorus]
It's a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day
I wait for it the whole year around

Now those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the ever green 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 grows whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for our soul
So get up and roll it along

It's a yum yummy world, made for sweet hearts
Take a walk with your favorite guy
It's a sugar date, what a spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world

[Chorus]

Those marshmallow clouds being friendly
In the arms of the ever-green-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 grows whenever it snows
The world is your snowball just for our soul
You better get up and roll it along

Oh, it's a yumm yummy world, made for sweet hearts
Take a walk with your favorite guy
It's a sugar date, what a spring is late
In winter it's a marshmallow world

It's a marshmallow world
It's a snow covered world
It's yummy, yummy world
It's a marshmallow world
