Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor

Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor (On the Bedpost Overnight?) is the song from Kidsongs: Baby Animal Songs. It was originally sung by Lonnie Donegan.

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!”?

Chorus
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says "Don’t chew it!",
Do you swallow in spite
And you catch it on your tonsils
And you heave it left and right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?

Here comes the blushing bride;
The groom is by her side,
Up to the altar
Just as steady as Gibraltar.
The groom has got the ring,
And it’s such a pretty thing
That as he slips it on her finger
The choir begins to sing...

Chorus

Now the nation rose as one
To send their honored son
Up to the White House,
The nation’s only White House;
To voice their discontent
Unto the President,
Upon the burning question,
What has swept this continent?

Chorus

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bed-post o-ver-night?
