Subject: [IL-Talk] IABS Idol - Battle of the Chapters - At Large "Does Your
Chewing Gum Lose its Flavor"

Good afternoon IL-Talk.

For IABS Idol's Battle of the Chapters, At Large is singing "Does your
Chewing Gum lose its flavor" by Lonnie Donnigan. I too wasn't familiar with
the song, but it's actually pretty catchy.

Leslie posted a youtube link earlier but that live version had different
lyrics than Dave posted. so, this album version with the same lyrics will be
what we use as the backing track:

And, here, again, are the 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?

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

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:

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

Now the nation rise as one
To send their wanted [honored] son
Up to the White House, yes,
The nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
The bonny burning question,
What has swept this continent?

If tin whistles are made of tin,
What do they make fog horns out of?
Boom boom

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
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 & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
On the bedpost overnight?
On the bedpost overnight

Hello there, I love you
and I wanna hold you tight!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night

On the bedpost overnight

A dollar is a dollar
& a dime is a dime!
He'd sing another chorus
But he hasn't got the time

On the bedpost overnight, yeah!
-Glenn Moore III
