Lyrics

It’s a (C)marsh mal low world in the win ter

when the snow comes to cov er the (G7)ground.

It’s the time for play, it’s a (C)whipped cream day,

I (D7)wait for it the whole year (G7)’round.

Those are (C)marsh mal low clouds be ing friend ly

in the arms of the ev er green (G7)trees.

And the sun is red like a (C)pump kin head, it’s (G7)shin ing so your nose won’t (C)freeze.

The (Gm7)world is your (C7)snow ball, (F)see how it (Dm)grows.

(C7)That’s how it goes, when (F)ev er it snows.

The (D7)world is your snow ball (G)just for a (Em)song, get (Am)out and (D7)roll it a (Dm7)long.

(G7)It’s a (C)yum yum my world made for sweet hearts,

take a walk with your fa vor ite (G7)girl.

It’s a su gar date, what if (Am)spring is (D7)late, in (G7)win ter it’s a marsh mal low (C)world.
