Lonnie Donegan – Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor 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' flavor
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' flavor
On the bedpost overnight?

One night while granny slept
stuck gum around her bed
plastic rollers all that chewing
with out molars,

A prowler in the night.
got stuck on grans bed right.
ole granny leapt up in the air
shouted out
Tonight's the night!!

Does your chewing gum lose its sticky
on the bedpost over night.
does it go all hard upon the floor
and look a nasty site
can you bend it like a fish hook
just in case you get it right
Does your chewing gum lose its' flavor
On the bedpost overnight

Hey hey, Lonn
what, what you want.
hey listen

Is a Gold Tooth a Flash in the pan?

is a gold tooth, Will you play your bass.

well now hang on listen
what a you want now.
I want a know

If i crossed a turkey with a kangaroo would i stuff it from the outside?

I'll stuff you from the outside. PLAY THE BASS!!!!

Now Listen
oh he's back he's back.

Now look If Tutankhamun got sick would i call his mummie?

You better call your mummie if I hear any more of that rubbish.

Go On PLAY UP.

The convict out on bail
said put me back in jail
Grand 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 use's then it says upon
the pack, can you stretch it out
much farther then the manner
from the rack can you lend it
to your brother and expect to
get it back.
Does your chewing gum lose
its flavor when your lips refuse
to smack

When on my hunnys moon in
our hotel room
it was heaaavvvveeenn we slept till past
eleven I found a waiter next to me
he was embarrassed as can be
he said I been stuck to your
bedpost since your early morning tea

Does your chewing gum lose its' flavor
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' flavor
On the bedpooosst overrrnight?
