Oh-me, oh-my, oh,you.

Whatever shall I do?

Hallelu...jah, the question is peculiar.
C G7 C
I'd give a lot of dough,
C G7 C
If only I could know.

The answer to my question,
D7 G
Is it yes or is it no?
Chorus:
G C
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
G7
on the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it,
C C7
do you swallow it in spite?
F F7
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
Am7 F
can you heave it left and right?
C
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
G7
on the bedpost overnight?
#2. ***(Chords are the same for the rest of it.)***
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...
Chorus:
#3.
Now the nation rise as one,
to send their only son.
up to the White House, yes,
the nation's only White House,
to voice their discontent,
unto the Pres-I-dent.
They ponder the burning question..
what has swept this continent?
SPOKEN: If tin whistles are made of tin,
what do they make fog horns out of?
Boom boom!
Chorus:
ADD:
G7 C
On..the..bedpost..overnight.
SPOKEN:
Hello there, I love you and I want to hold you tight!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday night!
C G7
On the bedpost overnight!
A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime!
I'd sing another Chorus but I haven't got the time!
C G7
On the bedpost overnight, yeah!
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
