[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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’ve got that face on

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Can’t we 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’ve got that face on
[Verse 3]
And know 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, yeah I clearly do!

[Chorus]
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’ve got that face on
