Marshmallow World
Phil Spector And Artists 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 all year round!

Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly,
In the arms of the evergreen trees;
And the sun is red like a pumpkin's head,
It's shining so your nose won't freeze!

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

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!




In winter it's a marshmallow world!
In winter it's a marshmallow world!

Lyrics:

It’s a marshmallow world in the winter
When the snow comes to cover the ground
It’s a time to play, it’s a whipped creme day
I wait for it all year round

Those 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

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

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
In winter, it’s a marshmallow world
In winter, it’s a marshmallow world

i loved christmas as a kid (not as an adult lol) and gotta say listening to Phil Spector's albums as a kid in the 70's was kinda nice.  

Woody Devonish

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra have nothing on Darlene Love!!! By far the BEST rendition of Marshmallow World!!!
