Marshmallow World
Bing Crosby / Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 round!
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly,
In the arms of the evergreen trees,
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head,
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, so what if spring is late,
In winter it's a marshmallow world!
It's a marshmallow day in the winter,
When the snow comes to cover the ground.
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day,
And we wait for it the whole year round!
Just you remember that
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!
You must remember that
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 sugary date, so what if spring is late,
In winter it's a marshmallow world
In winter it's a marshmallow world
In winter it's a marshmallow world
In "It's A Marshmallow World," Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald blissfully sing about the joys of winter. The lyrics describe how winter is a time for play, whipped cream, and sweetness. The winter season brings snow, which covers the ground, creating a fluffy, marshmallow-like appearance. The clouds, which are friendly marshmallow clouds, are seen in the arms of the evergreen trees. The sun is red like a pumpkin head, which is shining brightly, so your nose won't freeze. The song feels like a nostalgic celebration of wintertime, where you take a walk with your favorite girl and roll a huge snowball, expressing how wintertime can bring so much happiness.
Throughout the song, the chorus repeats, "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." These lyrics suggest that during wintertime, you are free to do whatever you wish, and the world will be your playground. You can have your snowball, grow it to enormous size, bring joy to yourself and others, and then melt away once the wintertime is over, demonstrating how winter is only for a short while, so you should live it to its fullest. The song's upbeat tune and optimistic lyrics make listeners feel spirited and carefree, taking them back to fond memories of winters past.
