Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour, On The Bedpost Overnight? |
Oh me oh my oh you |
Whatever shall I do? |
Hallelujah, the question is peculiar |
I’d give a lot of dough |
If only I could know |
The answer to my question |
Is it yes or is it no? |
CHORUS: |
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? |
If your mother says don’t chew it, do you swallow it in spite? |
Can you catch it on your tonsils, can you heave it left & right? |
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? |
Here comes a blushing bride |
The groom is by her side |
Up to the altar, just as steady as Gibraltar |
The groom has got the ring |
& it’s such a pretty thing |
But as he slips it on her finger |
The choir begins to sing: |
(chorus) |
Now the nation rise as one |
To send their wanted son |
Up to the White House, yes, the nation’s only White House |
To voice their discontent |
Unto the Pres-I-dent |
The bonny burning question, What has swept this continent? |
(Lonnie speaks: If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make fog horns |
out of? |
Another man shouts: Boom boom!) |
(chorus) |
On the bedpost overnight |
(Man: Hello there, I love you & the one who holds you tight! |
Lonnie: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sat’day night!) |
On the bedpost overnight |
(Man: A dollar is a dollar & a dime is a dime! |
Lonnie: He’d sing another chorus but he hasn’t got the time!) |
On the bedpost overnight, yeah! |
