[G] [D] [G] [C] [G]
It’s a [G]marshmallow [D]world in the [G]winter [D7],
When the [G]snow comes to cover the [D7]ground.
It’s the [C]time for [D7]play; it’s a [G]whipped cream [Em]day.
I [C]wait for it [A7]all year [D7]round.


Those are [G]marshmallow [D]clouds being [G]friendly [D7],
In the [G]arms of the evergreen [D7]trees.
And the [C]sun is [D7]red like a [G]pumpkin [Em]head.
It’s [C]shining so your [A7]nose [D]won’t [G]freeze.


The [G7]world is your snowball; [C]see how it [Am]grows.
[Dm]That’s how it [G7]goes, [C]whenever it snows.
The [A7]world is your snowball [D]just for a [Bm7]song.
Get [A7]out and roll it [D] [D7]along.


It’s a [G]yum yummy [D]world made for [G]sweethearts [D7].
Take a [G]walk with your [G7]favorite [D7]girl.
It’s a [C]sugar [D7]date; what if [G]spring is [Em]late?
In [C]winter, it’s a [A7]marsh[D]mallow [G]world.


The [G7]world is your snowball; [C]see how it [Am]grows.
[Dm]That’s how it [G7]goes, [C]whenever it snows.
The [A7]world is your snowball [D]just for a [Bm7]song.
Get [A7]out and roll it [D] [D7]along.


It’s a [G]yum yummy [D]world made for [G]sweethearts [D7].
Take a [G]walk with your favorite [D7]girl.
It’s a [C]sugar [D7]date; what if [G]spring is [Em]late?
In [C]winter, it’s a [A7]marsh[D]mallow [G]world.
In [C]winter, it’s a [A7]marsh[D]mallow [G]world.


In [C]winter, it’s a [A7]marsh[D]mallow [G]world.
