[Verse]
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
 
[Chorus]
G
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
D
On the bedpost overnight
D
If your mother says don't chew it
G
Do you swallow it in spite?
C                         D7
Can you catch it on your tonsils?
G               C
Can you heave it left and right?
G                              E7
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
       A7      D   G
On the bedpost overnight?
 
[Verse]
G             D       G
Here comes a blushing bride
G            D      G
The groom is by her side
C          G             D         G
Up to the altar Just as steady as Gibraltar
G                  D       G
Why, the groom has got the ring
G               D       G
And it's such a pretty thing
A7
But as he slips it on her finger
                     D
The choir begins to sing
 
[Chorus]
G
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
D
On the bedpost overnight
D
If your mother says don't chew it
G
Do you swallow it in spite?
C                         D7
Can you catch it on your tonsils?
G               C
Can you heave it left and right?
G                              E7
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
       A7      D   G
On the bedpost overnight?
 
[Verse]
G              D      G
Now the nation rise is one
G             D    G
To send their only son
C               G              D             G
Up to the White House Yes, the nation's only White House
G              D      G
To voice their discontent
G        D       G
Unto the Pres-I-dent
A7
They pawn the burning question
                     D7
What has swept this continent
 
(Spoken)
N.C.
If tin whistles are made of tin
N.C.
What do they make fog horns out of
 
[Chorus]
G
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
D
On the bedpost overnight
D
If your mother says don't chew it
G
Do you swallow it in spite?
C                         D7
Can you catch it on your tonsils?
G               C
Can you heave it left and right?
G                              E7
Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
       A7      D   G
On the bedpost overnight?
 
[Outro]
(I skip to the last line)
A7              D  G
On the bedpost overnight
 
(Spoken)
N.C.
Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight
N.C.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night
A7              D  G
On the bedpost overnight
 
(Spoken)
N.C.
A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime
N.C.
He's singin' out the chorus But he hasn't got the time
A7              D          G
On the bedpost overnight, yeah
