I don't have a clue.

Where do you find this stuff?

Most of the members here were not around in that era. You musta forgot they are all young whipper snappers!

i got it from the song it's self.

i thought all the kids were into retro music and tv shows like " that 70's show" heck i was a kid then.

the song is a joke song of sorts. it is called

" Doe's Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor On The Bedpost Over Night "

and doing the song which is in the style of an old carvinal show there is a band member that comes up to the lead singer and pesters him with those jokes.

makes the lead singer

feel like doing that but the song is funny.

and even back then was more of a kids song.

but it is funny to me i keep cracking up at it when i hear it. and the poor guy never gets his jokes answered

man i found the information on this song boy is it old. the orgianl version was wrote in 1924.

the one with the jokes in was done in 1961.

here are the words and some info on it just in case you wanted them.

British skiffle band (a.k.a. the Lonnie Donegan Skiffle Group for the 1956 song, "Rock Island Line"). Best known songs include the novelty hit "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor (On The Bedpost Over Night)" (1961). Skiffle was extremely popular in Britain throughout most of the 1950s and remained so until it was taken over by rock and roll around the early 1960s.

Orginal Writer: Billy Rose
version composer for below :Lonnie Donnigan.

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

One night while granny slept
stuck gum around her bed
plastic rollers all that chewing
with out molars,

A prowler in the night.
got stuck on grans bed right.
ole granny leapt up in the air
shouted out
Tonight's the night!!

Does your chewing gum lose its sticky
on the bedpost over night.
does it go all hard upon the floor
and look a nasty site
can you bend it like a fish hook
just in case you get it right
Does your chewing gum lose its' flavor
On the bedpost overnight

Hey hey, Lonn
what, what you want.
hey listen

Is a Gold Tooth a Flash in the pan?

is a gold tooth, Will you play your base.

well now hang on listen
what a you want now.
I want a know

If i crossed a turkey with a kangaroo would i stuff it from the outside?

I'll stuff you from the outside. PLAY THE BASS!!!!

Now Listen
oh he's back he's back.

Now look If Tutankhamun got sick would i call his mummie?

You better call your mummie if I hear any more of that rubbish.

Go On PLAY UP.

The convict out on bail
said put me back in jail
Grand de knocker
he must be off his rocker
then back in his old cell
the reason he did tell
his gum was stuck
above his bed
beneath false teeth as well

Does your chewing gum have
more use's then it says upon
the pack, can you stretch it out
much farther then the manner
from the rack can you lend it
to your brother and expect to
get it back.
Does your chewing gum lose
its flavor when your lips refuse
to smack

When on my hunnys moon in
our hotel room
it was heaaavvvveeenn we slept till past
eleven I found a waiter next to me
he was embarrassed as can be
he said I been stuck to your
bedpost since your early morning tea

Does your chewing gum lose its' flavor
On the bedpost overnight
If your mothers says don't chew it
Do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils?
Can you heave it left and right?
Does your chewing gum lose its' flavor
On the bedpooosst overrrnight?

Oonn thaaee beeeeddd pooosstt ooveerrrrniggghhttt?

I have heard that song, but it was the short version, I think.

That is the Short version

the lead singer plays the banjo and there is a drum and the bass

might be some horns but not real loud?

you know the basic instruments of the 1930's carnvial bands

minus the pipe organ of course
