Your rating:

DOES YOUR CHEWING GUM LOSE ITS FLAVOR (ON THE BEDPOST OVERNIGHT)

Lonnie Donegan & his Skiffle Group



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 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 & right?

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?



Here comes a blushing bride

The groom is by her side

Up to the altar, just as steady as Gibraltar

The groom has got the ring

& it's such a pretty thing

But as he slips it on her finger

The choir begins to sing:



(chorus)



Now the nation rise as one

To send their wanted son

Up to the White House, yes, the nation's only White House

To voice their discontent

Unto the Pres-I-dent

The bonny burning question, What has swept this continent?

(Lonnie speaks: If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make fog horns out of?

Another man shouts: Boom boom!)



(chorus)



On the bedpost overnight

(Man: Hello there, I love you & the one who holds you tight!

Lonnie: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night!)

On the bedpost overnight

(Man: A dollar is a dollar & a dime is a dime!

Lonnie: He'd sing another chorus but he hasn't got the time!)

On the bedpost overnight, yeah!
