| 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?

| 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 and even back then was more of a kids song. |
