Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor (On The Bedpost Over Night)

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 it's 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 it's flavour
 On the bedpost overnight?
 Here comes a blushing bride
 The groom is by her side
 Up to the altar
 Just as steady as Gibraltar
 Why, the groom has got the ring
 And it's such a pretty thing
 But as he slips it on her finger
 The choir begins to sing
 [Repeat Chorus:]
 Now the nation rise as one
 To send their only son
 Up to the White House
 Yes, the nation's only White House
 To voice their discontent
 Unto the President
 They pawn the burning question
 What has swept this continent?
 [Lonnie Speaks:]
 If tin whistles are made of tin
 What do they make fog horns out of?
 [Man Shouts:]
 Boom, boom
 Does your chewing gum lost it's 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 it's flavour
 On the bedpost overnight?
 On the bedpost overnight?
 [Man:]
 Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight
 [Lonnie:]
 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
 Thursday, Friday, Saturday night
 On the bedpost overnight
 [Man:]
 A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime
 [Lonnie:]
 He's singin' out the chorus
 But he hasn't got the time
 On the bedpost overnight, yeah
