Mardy Bum

Now then Mardy Bum

I've seen your frown

And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun

And it goes off

And out come all these words

Oh, there's a very pleasant side to you

A side I much prefer

The one which laughs and jokes around

Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yes

To get things off the ground

And it was up, up and away

Oh, but it's right hard to remember that

On a day like today when you're all argumentative

And you got that face on

Now then Mardy Bum

Oh, I'm in trouble again, aren't I?

I thought as much

'Cause you turned over there

Pulling that silent disappointment face

The one that I can't bear

Can't we just laugh and joke around

Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yes

To get things off the ground

And it was up, up and away

Oh, but it's right hard to remember that

On a day like today when you're all argumentative

And you got that face on

And oh, I'm sorry I was late

But I missed the train and then the traffic was a state

And I can't be asked to carry on in this debate

That reoccurs, say I don't care

Well, of course I do, yes, I clearly do!

Laugh and joke around

Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yes

To get things off the ground

And it was up, up and away

Oh, but it's right hard to remember that

On a day like today when you're all argumentative

And you got that face on
