‘Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve got no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.’ Now why three ‘let it snow’s’? Why not two or four? Because three is lyric.” It was originally sung by Vaughn Monroe, but Dean Martin’s version is one of the best ones, and perfectly fits his image as a swinging member of the Rat Pack without a care in the world. I said to Jule Stein, ‘Why don’t we go down to the beach and cool off?’ He said, ‘Why don’t we stay here and write a winter song.’ I went to the typewriter. Instead of going to the beach, they stayed at wrote a winter song! In Paul Zollo’s book ‘Songwriters on Songwriting’ writer Sammy Cahn said: “’Let It Snow’ was written on Hollywood and Vine on the hottest day of the year. When we dance when we kiss does it get any better than this lyrics. Let it snow, let it snow When we finally kiss goodnight How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm And the fire is slowly dying And, my dear, we're still goodbyeing But as long as you love me so Let it snow, let it snow, and snow When we finally kiss goodnight How I'll hate going out in. It’s about making the most of a snowy day by spending it with a loved one by the fire, even though Christmas is not mentioned in the lyrics.
