# G D G Oh-me, oh-my, oh-you G D G Whatever shall I do C G D G Hallelujah, the question is peculiar G D G I'd give a lot of dough G D G If only I could know A7 The answer to my question D Is it yes or is it no G Does your chewing gum lose its flavour D On the bedpost overnight If your mother says don't chew it G Do you swallow it in spite C D Can you catch it on your tonsils G C Can you heave it left and right G Does your chewing gum lose its flavour D G 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 A7 D G On the bedpost overnight (Lonnie) I love you and I need you and I want to hold you tight Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night A7 D G 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 A7 D G On the bedpost overnight, yeah
