Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour Lyrics - 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 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 

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 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? 

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? 

If tin whistles are made of tin, 

What do they make fog horns out of? 

Boom boom 

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? 

On the bedpost overnight 

Hello there, 

I love you and 

The one who holds you tight! 

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 

Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night 

On the bedpost overnight 

A dollar is a dollar & a dime is a dime! 

He'd sing another chorus 

But he hasn't got the time 

On the bedpost overnight, yeah!
