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
and 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 wanted son
Up to the White House
yes the nation's
only White House
to voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
a bonnie 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 I wanna hold 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'd sing another chorus
but he hasn't got the time
On the bedpost
overnight yeah
