Oh-me,  oh-my,  oh,you.
 Whatever shall  I do?
Hallelu...jah,  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?
 Here comes a blushing bride,
 The groom is by her side.
 Up to the altar, just as steady as Gibraltar.
 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...
 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 Pres-I-dent.
 They ponder the burning question..
 what has swept this continent?
 SPOKEN: If tin whistles are made of tin,
 what do they make fog horns out of?
 Boom boom!
On..the..bedpost..overnight.
 SPOKEN:
 Hello there, I love you and I want to hold you tight!
 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night!
On  the bedpost overnight!
 A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime!
 I'd sing another chorus but I haven't got the time!
On  the bedpost overnight,  yeah!
 A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.

Here comes a blushing bride,

The groom is by her side.

Up to the altar, just as steady as Gibraltar.

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...

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 Pres-I-dent.

They ponder the  burning question..

what has swept this continent?

SPOKEN: If tin whistles are made of tin,
what do they make fog horns out of?
Boom boom!

[G7]On..the..bedpost..over[C]night.

SPOKEN:
Hello there, I love you and I want to hold you tight!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night!
[C]On the bedpost over[G7]night!

A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime!
I'd sing another chorus but I haven't got the time!
[C]On the bedpost over[G7]night, yeah!
