"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). The song
is about winter and is commonly regarded as a Christmas song, although the
lyrics make no mention of the holiday.
The song was first a hit
for Bing Crosby (backed by the Lee Gordon Singers and Sonny Burke and his
Orchestra). Crosby's version, recorded in 1950, peaked at number 24 on the pop
singles chart in January 1951. Other artists who recorded the song in 1950
included Ray Anthony, Vic Damone, Johnny Desmond, Arthur Godfrey, Vaughn Monroe
and Dean Martin.
The Dean Martin Christmas
Album is a 1966 studio album by Dean Martin arranged by Ernie Freeman and Bill
Justis.
This was Martin's only
album of Christmas music released on Reprise Records (his only other Christmas
album, A Winter Romance, having been released in 1959 on Capitol Records). It
was reissued on CD by Hip-O Records in 2008, retitled A Very Cool Christmas.
Ricci James Martin,
Martin's son, wrote in a biography of his father that The Dean Martin Christmas
Album was the only one of his father's albums that was played in the Martin
household, his parents seldom listening to Dean Martin's music.
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 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.
