In One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, the book by Ken Kesey, the guy that Jack Nicholson played in the film version sings this song to the Indian. I seem to remember the chorus going like this:
Does your spearmint lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
If you leave it there 'til morning
Will it be too hard to bite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils
Can you heave it left and right?
Does your spearmint lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
The version I remember hearing on the Dr. Demento show referred to chewing gum, and had a few "call-back" verses after the final chorus:
(Chorus)
A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime
I'd sing another chorus but I 'aven't got the time!
That's the only one I remember.
