Subject: RE: Does Spearmint Lose its Flavor on the bedpost From: SeanM Date: 06-Jul-99 - 05:57 PM As the first step to helping you find this... I think the actual title is 'Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?'... Can't help you with the lyrics, but if you can find any of the Dr Demento collections (syndicated DJ with a 'demented music' show), it's on at least a few of them... Good luck M

Subject: RE: Does Spearmint Lose its Flavor on the bedpost From: Carlzen Date: 07-Jul-99 - 02:52 AM Lonnie Donnegan was (is still?) a British skiffle band singer and had an international hit of that song, probably in the late 50's. Here's what I remember; Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? When your mother says 'don't chew it' Do you swallow it in spite? Do you catch it on your tonsils and heave it left and right? Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bed post over night? (Not the morning but the middle of the night.)
