I can think of several nice versions of Does your chewing gum lose its flavor(on the bedpost over night). This one is from Lulu Belle & Scotty Wiseman. I also have a version by the the Irish Rovers, and I seem to remember one by Lonnie Donegan as well, but I could be wrong on that. The Rovers' version was quite a bit different, but then, they were different.

DOES YOUR SPEARMINT LOSE ITS FLAVOR?
Lulu Belle & Scotty Starday CD 206

Oh me, oh my, oh you, I don't know what to do,
Hallelujaher, the question is peculiar,
It's got me on the go, I'd give a lot of dough,
If someone here would tell me is it yes, or is it no?
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
If you chew it in the morning, will it be too hard to bite?
Can't you see I'm going crazy, won't somebody put me right?
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?

Here comes the blushing bride, her sweetheart by her side,
At the altar, as steady as Gibraltar,
The bridegroom's got the ring, it's such a pretty thing.
He slipped it on her finger and the choir began to sing,
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
Would you use it on your collar when your button's not in sight?
If you string it out and stretch it, will it snap right back and bite?
Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?^^^
