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'd sing another chorus but he hasn't got the time
On the bedpost overnight, yeah
