| 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! |
