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
