Okee-dokee, fellow thrill-seekers, new quest. (Hope this is the right thread for it.)

The chorus of this gleefully puerile ditty is all I know. I checked the database, and several folk and country sites before posting here. Tried title variants, as well. Since I remember the brief flurry of popularity the song enjoyed some time back, on mainstream radio, I hope someone can direct me to a source of the complete lyrics.

(Chorus:) Does yer chew'n' gum lose is flavour on the bedpost overnight? If yer mother says don't chew it, do ya swallow it in spite? Can you catch it on yer tonsils, 'n' heave it left 'n'right? Does yer chew'n' gum lose is flavour on the bedpost overnight?

More?

(The edification of some Small Persons of the Scouting Persuasion is involved, so if this posting comes up empty, maybe I'll try it on the scout songs thread.)

Thanks for the bother!
