Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its' Flavor

Lonnie Donegan And His Skiffle Group



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 flavour 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 flavour 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 
And 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 
They pawn the burning question, What has swept this continent? 
(Lonnie speaks: If tin whistles are made of tin, 
what do they make phone cords out of? 
Another man shouts: Boom boom!) 
 
(chorus) 
 
On the bedpost overnight 
(Man: Hello there, I love you and 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 and a dime is a dime! 
Lonnie: He's singin' out the chorus but he hasn't got the time!) 
On the bedpost overnight, yeah!
