Deano Frank presents - A Marshmallow World

"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). It was published the following year by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. The song is about winter and is commonly regarded as a Christmas song in the Northern Hemisphere, 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,[1] peaked at No. 24 on Billboard's Best Selling Pop Singles chart in the issue dated January 6, 1951.[2] Other artists who recorded the song in 1950 include Ray Anthony, Vic Damone, Johnny Desmond, Arthur Godfrey, Vaughn Monroe, and Jo Stafford.

The song compares a snowfall to marshmallows covering the ground. It also describes the snowfall as whipped cream and the sun as a red pumpkin head. The singer "waits for it the whole year 'round."
