Question

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bedpost overnight?

and you swallow it in fright?

Answer 1

HA HA! The old Lonnie Donegan song!
My Dad used to sing this:

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 flavour
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 flavour
On the bedpost overnight

Here comes a blushing bride
The groom is by her side
Up to the altar
Just as steady as Gibraltar
Why, 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

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 flavour

Now the nation rise is 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 pawn the burning question
What has swept this continent

(Lonnie speaks)
If tin whistles are made of tin
What do they make fog horns out of
Boom, boom

Does your chewing gum lose its flavour
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

On the bedpost overnight

(Man)
Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight

(Lonnie)
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night

On the bedpost overnight

(Man)
A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime

(Lonnie)
He's singin' out the chorus
But he hasn't got the time

On the bedpost overnight, yeah

Answer 2

To the first question, no. I haven't done it but my mum said when she was a little kid that she used to eat old chewing gum off the ground in the street, and it still had it's flavour! (Isn't that so gross!)
To the second question, nope. IWhen I was smaller I was always too scared to put chewing in my mouth, never mind my mum having to tell me not to swallow it (I'm talking 5, 6 years old here).

P.S. I've just read some1 elses answer here, is this question meant to be a song/poem?

Answer 6

The sky one programme Brainiac proved that it is all a myth about swollowing chewing gum. It`s just something your mum says to make sure you don`t choke on it by swollowing it. I almost did once, so haven`t done since.
