   C      G      C    

Oh me, oh my, oh you  

    C    G       C   

Whatever shall I do  

F    C          G             C       

Hallelujah, the question is peculiar  

    C      G      C      

I'd give a lot of dough  

   C    G       C     

If only I could know  

    D7                                        G   

The answer to my question, Is it yes or is it no  

          C                            

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor  

       G                  

On the bedpost overnight  

G                                  

If your mother says don't chew it  

       C                    

Do you swallow it in spite  

        F                G        

Can you catch it on your tonsils  

        C                 F      

Can you heave it left and right  

          C                            

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor  

       G            C      

On the bedpost over night

Here comes a blushing bride  

    C        G      C     

The groom is by her side  

F         C      

Up to the altar  

        G             C      

Just as steady as Gibraltar  

         C         G       C     

Why, the groom has got the ring  

         C      G      C      

And it's such a pretty thing  

    D7                            

But as he slips it on her finger  

                    G     

The choir begins to sing  

          C

Now the nations rise as one  

   C          G    C    

To send their only son  

F         C            

Up to the White House  

         G             C            

Yes, the nation's only White House  

   C           G     C     

To voice their discontent  

  C      G      C     

Unto the Pres-I-dent  

     D7                         

They pawn the burning question  

                          G     

What has swept this conti-nent
