A Marshmallow World
Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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

Dean was the best...that smooth as satin voice, and he always sang with a wink...his good humor came through. Rest in peace, Dino❀️

@miltonmoore8369

He didn't always sing with a wink.
Certainty not on his many melancholic romantic ballads, and serious non-secular Christmas songs
like his favorite:
"Silent Night, Holy Night."
Respectfully😊

@nathalieconnor5803

I grew up listening to Dean. As a senior citizen now, I listen to Dean during the day, and he sings me to sleep every night. Dean is God's gift to mankind. Dean, you are sorely missed!
