G                   Em
  It isn't nice, it isn't nice

Am             D

G                   Em
  It isn't nice, it isn't nice

G                    Em
  Mr. Charlie didn't see us
Am                D
  And he might as well be blind
G                    Em
  When you deal with men of ice,
C                   D

G                  Em
  Did you say that wasn't proper?
Am                  D
  Did you stand out on the track?
G                Em
  You were quiet just like mice
C                  D
  Now you say that we're not nice
    C                   D

    C                 D
You told us once, you told us twice
