Strum
D-DU-UDU
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 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
 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
 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
 Now the nation rise is one
 To send their only son
 Up to the White House
 Yes, the nation's only White House
 To voice their discontent
 Unto the Pres-I-dent
 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
 Boom, boom
 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
On  the bedpost overnight
 (Man)
 Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight
 (Lonnie)
 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
 Thursday, Friday, Sat'day 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
