D                    F#
Well, now then Mardy Bum
                 G
I've seen your frown and it's like
F#m              Em
looking down the barrel of a gun
    A       D
And it goes off
                       F#
And out come all these words
               G             F#m
Oh, there's a very pleasant side to you
  Em                       A
A side I much prefer, it's one that

Chorus:
G                  A
Laughs and jokes around
          D              A
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah
   Bm                                G
To get things off the ground and it was
             A
up, up and away
              D               A
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
   Bm
on a day like today when you're
G             A                           D
all argumentative and you've got the face on

Well, 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
Well, can't we

Chorus:
just laugh and joke around?
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was up, up, and away
Ah, but it's reight hard to remember that
On a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

F#                         G
And yeah, I'm sorry I was late
                 F#
But I missed the train and then
                    G
the traffic was a state
               F#
And I can't be arsed to carry on in
        G
this debate that reoccurs
             F#                                 G
Oh, when you say I don't care, but of course I do
                 A
Yeah, I clearly do.

Chorus:
So laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah
To get things off the ground
And it was up, up, and away
Oh, but it's reight hard to remember that
On a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on
