#1. 
C         G7     C 
Oh-me, oh-my, oh,you. 
         G7      C 
Whatever shall I do? 
F         C        G7          C 
Hallelu...jah, the question is peculiar. 
C          G7     C 
I'd give a lot of dough, 
C  G7           C 
If only I could know. 
    D 
The answer to my question, 
      D7           G 
Is it yes or is it no? 

Chorus: 
G         C           
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor  
       G7 
on the bedpost overnight? 

If your mother says don't chew it,  
       C             C7 
do you swallow it in spite? 
        F                F7 
Can you catch it on your tonsils,  
        Am7               F 
can you heave it left and right? 
          C     
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor  
       G7 
on the bedpost overnight? 


#2. ***(Chords are the same for the rest of it.)*** 

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... 

Chorus: 

#3. 

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! 

Chorus: 
ADD: 
G7                    C 
On..the..bedpost..overnight. 

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