Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour [On the Bedpost Overnight?] lyrics

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 her bed

Elastic 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 lose its sticky

On the bedpost overnight?

Does it go all hard, fall on the floor

And look a nasty sight?

Can you bend it like a fish hook

Just in case you get a bite?

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour

On the bedpost overnight?

(Bad joke interlude)

The convict out on bail

Said, put me back in jail

Harrang de Knocker

He must be off his rocker

Then back in his old cell

The reason he did tell

His gum was stuck above his bed

Beneath false teeth as well

Does your chewing gum have more uses

Then it says upon the pack?

Can you stretch it out much further

Then 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 till past eleven

I found a waiter next to me

He was embarrassed as could 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 mothers 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 the bedpost overnight?
