"Does Your Chewing Gum Lose it's Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight?" was recorded in the early 60's by Lonnie Donnegan. Think it was his only American hit. At the time, my mother rememberd it as "spearmint." I think Donnegan changed it.

Here's the song as I remember it (relying on the database version where memory fails)

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

CHORUS: Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?
If your mother says don't chew it do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils and heave it left and right
Does the chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost over night?

Here comes the blushing bride; the groom is by herside
Up to the altar, it's steady as Gibraltar
The groom has got the ring; and it's such a pretty thing
As he slips it on her finger the choir begins to sing

chorus

The nation rose as one, and sent its fav'rite son
Up to the White House, the nation's only lighthouse
To see the President; he said that "I've been sent
To solve the burning question that involves the continent."
(If tin whistles are made of tin, what are fog horns made of?)
