does your chewing gum lose it's flavor (on the bedpost overnight) - lonnie donegan & his skif lyrics

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 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
