Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's 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! |
