Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour [On the Bedpost Overnight?] lyrics
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?
One night old granny Stead
Stuck gum all round her bed
Elastic rollers, all that chewing without molars
A prowler in the night
Got stuck on gran's bed, right?
Old granny leapt up in the air
Shouting out "Tonight's the night"
Does your chewing gum lose its sticky
On the bedpost overnight?
Does it go all hard, fall on the floor
And look a nasty sight?
Can you bend it like a fish hook
Just in case you get a bite?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight?
(Bad joke interlude)
The convict out on bail
Said, put me back in jail
Harrang de Knocker
He must be off his rocker
Then back in his old cell
The reason he did tell
His gum was stuck above his bed
Beneath false teeth as well
Does your chewing gum have more uses
Then it says upon the pack?
Can you stretch it out much further
Then the man upon the rack?
Can you lend it to your brother
And expect to get it back?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
When your lips refuse to smack?
When on my honeymoon
In our hotel room
It was heaven, we slept till past eleven
I found a waiter next to me
He was embarrassed as could be
He said, I've been stuck to your bedpost
Since your early morning tea
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost overnight?
If your mothers 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?
