[Gm] [G]
[D] [G]
Oh me, oh my, oh you, what ever shall I do?
[C] [G] Hallelujah, the question is peculiar, I give the latter no.
If only I could know, [A] the answer to my question today.
Yes, [D] only know, [G] that you're chewing gum losing flavour [D] on the bread for so long.
It mullows that dumb chewing gum, do you [G] swallow it is fine.
[C] Can you catch [D] it on your tongue, [G] can you hear [Cm] the clacking [G] noise?
Yes, you're chewing gum [E] losing flavour [A] on the [G] bread for so long.
One night old granny's stick stuck gum all round her bed.
[C] [G] Plastic rollers all let you in without moulders, a prowler in the night.
Got stuck on gran's bed, right?
[A] Old granny leapt up in the air shouting out,
[D] Tonight, tonight, [G] that you're chewing gum losing sticky on the [D] bread for so long.
Did it go apart, fall on the [G] floor and look a nasty sight?
[C] Can you bend it [D] like a fish hook just [G] in case you get [Cm] a bite?
[G] Yes, you're chewing gum [E] losing flavour [A] on the bread [G] for so long.
Oi, look on!
Oi, love, hang on, listen, is a gold tooth a flash in the pan?
Is a gold tooth?
Will you play your place?
Well, no, hang on, listen, hang on, I want to know, if I cross the kangaroo with a turkey,
could I stuff it from the outside?
I'll stuff you from the outside, play the bass!
Now listen, now look, if Tootin' Carmen got sick, would I call his mummy?
You better call your mummy, you're playing him all of that rubbish.
Go on, play her!
The convict now unveiled, said put me back in jail.
[C] [G] Rang the knocker, he must be off in Grocker, then back in his old cell.
The reason he did tell, [A] his gum was stuck above his bed when he's all feeling [G] well.
Does your chewing gum have more uses than [D] it says upon the pack?
Can you stretch it out much further than [G] a man upon the rack?
[C] Can you lend it to [D] your brother and [G] expect to get it [Cm] back?
[G] Does it [E] lose its flavour [A] when [G] your lips refuse to smack?
[Ab] [G] [Ab]
[A]
When I'm lost on your moon, in our hotel room,
[D] it [A] was seven with left till half eleven.
[E] I found a waiter [A] next to me, he was embarrassed as could be.
He [B] said, I've been stuck [Ab] to your bedpost since you're early.
[A] Does your chewing gum lose its flavour [E] on the rack all the night?
If your mother says don't chew it, do you [A] swallow it in spite?
[D] Can you catch [E] it on your tongue, [A] can you chew it [Dm] through the mouth?
[A] Does your chewing gum [Gb] lose its flavour [G] all the [A] night?
