DOES YOUR CHEWING GUM LOSE ITS FLAVOR (ON THE BEDPOST OVERNIGHT) Lonnie Donegan & his Skiffle Group 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? CHORUS: 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 & right? Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? 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 & it's such a pretty thing But as he slips it on her finger The choir begins to sing: (chorus) Now the nation rise as one To send their wanted son Up to the White House, yes, the nation's only White House To voice their discontent Unto the Pres-I-dent The bonny burning question, What has swept this continent? (Lonnie speaks: If tin whistles are made of tin, what do they make fog horns out of? Another man shouts: Boom boom!) (chorus) On the bedpost overnight (Man: Hello there, I love you & 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 & a dime is a dime! Lonnie: He'd sing another chorus but he hasn't got the time!) On the bedpost overnight, yeah! From: Collins Crapo

Careful, now. Frank Sinatra sang that song. The bongo bongo is from the chorus. It's title is "Civilization," and it's actually a bit of social commentary. Each morning the missionary advertises on the neon sign, It tells the native population that civilization is fine. And pre-educated savages holler from the bamboo tree That civilization is not for me to see. Chorus: Oh bongo bongo bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo oh no, no, no, no, no, Bingle bangle bongle, I don't wanna leave jungle, I refuse to go. I don't want landlords, junkyard, cocktails, caviar, I'll make it clear that no matter how they coax me, I'll stay right here. I looked through a magazine a missionary's wife concealed. I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobile. When they have two weeks' vacation, they hurry to vacation grounds, They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all year round. Chorus: Oh bongo bongo bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo oh no, no, no, no, no, Bingle bangle bongle, I don't wanna leave jungle, I refuse to go. I don't want landlords, junkyard, cocktails, caviar, I'll make it clear that no matter how they coax me, I'll stay right here. They have things like the atom bomb, So I think I'll stay here where I am, Civilization, I'll stay here.
