Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour (On the Bedpost Overnight?) - Lonnie Donegan

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

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 and 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

Why, 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

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 and right?

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour

On the bedpost overnight?

Now the nation rise as one

To send their only son

Upto the White House

Yes, the nation's only White House

To voice their discontent

Unto the President

They pawn the burning question

What has swept this continent?

If tin whistles are made of tin

What do they make fog horns out of? Boom, boom

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 and right?

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour

On the bedpost overnight?

On the bedpost overnight

Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

Thursday, Friday, Saturday night

On the bedpost overnight

A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime

He's singin' out the chorus

But he hasn't got the time

On the bedpost overnight, yeah
