BUBBLE GUM
My mother gave me a penny to see Jack Benny.
I did not see Jack Benny. I bought some bubble gum.
CHORUS: Na, na, na, na, na, bubble gum! Na, na, na, na, na, bubble gum!
Na, na, na, na, na, bubble gum! I bought some bubble gum!
My mother gave me a nickel to buy a pickle.
I did not buy a pickle. I bought some bubble gum. CHORUS
My mother gave me a dime to buy a lime.
I did not buy a lime. I bought some bubble gum! CHORUS
My mother gave me a quarter to pay the porter.
I did not pay the porter. I bought some bubble gum! CHORUS
My mother gave me a dollar to buy a collar.
I did not buy a collar. I bought some bubble gum! CHORUS
My mother gave me a spanking for buying all that bubble gum.
I did not cry a tear. I cried bubble gum!
