Oh me, oh my, oh you
Whatever shall I do?
Hallelujah, the question is peculiar
I'd give a lot of dough
If I 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 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 and his false teeth as well
()
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 our honeymoon
In our hotel room
It was heaven ww slept 'til half eleven
I found a waiter next to me
He was embarrassed as could be
He said "I've been stuck to your bedpost, it's your early morning tea"
(final)
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 over...?
On the bedpost... over... night?
