Looking for the full lyrics of the "Chewing Gum" song recorded by L.
Donegan in the late 50's.

This will have to do ...

Oh, me! Oh, My! Oh, You!
Whatever shall I do?
Oh, Haleluja!
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 its flavor
On the bedposts overnight?
If your mother said don't chew it,
Do you swallow it in spite?
Do you catch it on your tonsils,
And you heave it left and right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedposts overnight?

Here comes a blushing bride.
The groom is by her side.
Up to the alter
Just as steady as Gibraltar
He has a golden ring
And she's such a pretty thing,
But as he slips it on her finger
The choir begins to sing ...

[Chorus]

Now the nation rises as one,
And sends their only son
Marching to the White House,
The nation's only white house,
To voice their discontent
Unto the President
The only burning question
That has swept this continent ...

[stop]

Q: If tin whistle are made of made of tin,
What do they make fog horns out of?

A: Fog Iron

... On the bed posts overnight

[stop]

Darling, I love you,
And I want to hold you tight
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday night.

... On the bed posts overnight

[stop]

A dollar is a dollar,
And a dime is a dime.
He'd sing another chorus
But he hasn't got the time.

... On the bed posts overnight

As far as I know, this is them.
I hope it's all right...

Don't know the full lyrics, but if I give some below it may
nudge someone else's memory for you:

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost over night
If your mother says 'don't chew it'
Do you swallow it in fright
Do you catch on your tonsils
Can you swing it left and right
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
On the bedpost over night.
