Thread Name: Lyr Req: Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor...?
Subject: Lyr Add: DOES YOUR CHEWING GUM LOSE ITS FLAVOUR
I transcribed different lyrics from a compilation album called Kooky Country some years ago:

DOES YOUR CHEWING GUM LOSE ITS FLAVOUR ON THE BEDPOST OVERNIGHT?
(Lonnie Donegan)

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?

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it, do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils? Can you heave it left and right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?

One night old Granny Stead stuck gum all 'round the bed.
Blasted rollers! All that chewing without molars!
A prowler in the night got stuck on Gran's bed, right!
Old Granny leapt up in the air, shouting out, "Tonight's the night!"

Does your chewing gum have more uses than it says upon the pack?
Can you stretch it out much further than the man upon the rack?
Can you lend it to your brother, and expect to get it back?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour when your lips refuse to smack?

When on my honeymoon, in our hotel room,
It was heaven. We slept 'til past eleven.
We found a waiter next to me. He was as-ton-ish-ed to be!
He said, "I've been stuck to your bedpost since your early morning tea!"

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it, do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils? Can you heave it left and right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour, on the bedpost overnight?

On your bedpost overnight...
