Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?

[Anonymous]

[Hawkes_Lady]

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's singin' out the chorus
But he hasn't got the time
On the bedpost overnight, yeah

Thanks for the MHO!

You’re welcome honey 💯

[sage2021]

To me it tastes stale. Unless you just started chewing it, and it still had a lot of flavor, it should be okay

[Asker]

It’s going to get really hard

I had this same question quite some time ago. I can remember this song as a kid. Lonnie Donegan was really the tip of the spear of the so called British Invasion.

[Asker]

I thought maybe a few people would remember

You have to be old

[Asker]

33 years old

[exitseven]

@jennz6 You need to be a lot older than 33

[Asker]

I’m going to be 34 in November

[Asker]

Your welcome sweetheart

[Red_Arrow]

Can you catch it on your tonsils and heave it left and right?

[Asker]

You must know this song 🎵

[AmeerX]

Umm, are we talking about the song or an actual chewing gum? And no it does lose its flavor overnight

[Asker]

The song

[AmeerX]

Just checked it out. I think I have heard it before on TV. May be it was a similar song

[Asker]

Kinda funny

[AmeerX]

Oh yeah 😁. But how do you know such an old song. You know for a young girl you really are an old soul

[Asker]

I’m 33 years old, but I just heard it on the radio

[AmeerX]

🤭 but you feel like you have a bit more to you than you show

[smilelots]

Well, first of all, I never put mine on the bed post. I put it in the garbage beside the bed when I’m finished chewing it, but I’m gonna guess it loses some of its flavor. It depends on how long you chewed it. That’s my opinion.

[goldenboybrady]

Wait a minute, I'm the 70-year-old here, and I was just EIGHT when the late Lonnie Donegan's skiffle song "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour On The Bedpost Overnight?" (an underrated classic) hit !!!

[Billlewis]

I can't say I've ever put my gum on the bedpost, but it's food for thought...

[CubaPirate]

One of my grandads favourite 78 records 🥰😘👍

[Asker]

I just heard it recently

[Mansearching]

Ewww... I never left gum like that. So I don't know.

[Guardian45]

Once it comes out of my mouth, it ain't going back in! LOL!

[TravelingMaaike]

[collie22]
