I remember being 12 or so and my mom singing this. I thought she made it up. She was born in 1930. I was born in 1960. So my Mom, Eileen, was around 33 and I was 12. I even remember when she sang it in her 70s. May she Rest in Peace.
...man, I really do have an old soul. I love these old songs, and have ever since I was a little girl. I'm 30, as of my last birthday. As soon as dad showed me how to use a record player I was listening to his collection. Mostly the big band and swing ones. Later I discovered vaudeville, blues, bluegrass, rock, jazz, and so much more. I carried a Sony Walkman radio/cassette tape player around in high school when everyone else had iPods. I love old music.
I love this tune, heard it on Boardwalk Empire recently, what memories it brought back. My Dad use to sing it to me all the time. Jacqueline Bloomquist, Sparks, NV.
Oh me, oh my, oh you, I don't know what to do! Hallelujah, the question is peculiar! It's got me on the go, I'd give a lot of dough If someone here would tell me, is it Yes or is it No? Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? If you chew it in the morning, will it be too hard to bite? Can't you see I'm going crazy; won't somebody put me right? Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? The nation rose as one, and sent its favourite son To the White House, this mighty country's lighthouse. Before the President, he said that "I've been sent To solve the burning question that involves the continent." Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Would you use it on your collar when your button's not in sight? Put your hand beneath your seat and you will find it there, alright! Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? If your teacher tells you not to chew it, swallow it for spite. Could you grab it with your tonsils and then swing it left and right? Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Here comes the blushing bride, the groom right at her side, To the altar, as steady as Gibraltar. The bridegroom has the ring; it's such a pretty thing; He puts it on her finger and the choir begins to sing: Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Always place it on your napkin if you want to be polite. Could you get a job as typist if you couldn't chew it right? Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? Will it make a fellow shut up when he's dying to recite? Would you give it to your parrot if he isn't cursing right? Does the spearmint lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
My dad used to sing this song to me all the time back in the 60s when I was a youngster. I always thought it was some random song he made up. Then heard it on Boardwalk Empire. Go figure.
My dad used to sing this back in the '50s (mostly on car trips)! There was another he used to sing that my mother thought he made up but he said he didn't have enough imagination to have -- then we heard someone sing that at a concert and knew he hadn't. So I always thought this had been an old pop song.
@@abdikeur6393 I was born in the '40s, '44 to be exact. Boomers start after WWII, '46. So I'm even too old to be a boomer. Just because I never used a computer until after I was 21 doesn't mean I don't now.
This song from 1924 only recently entered the public domain (January, 2020) although the recordings by various artists may still have copyright protection. One of the writers, Marty Bloom, was a partner in the Melrose Bros musical publishing house in Chicago which had a banner year in 1924 with several hit songs in the Jazz genre. Actually there were many hit songs created in Chicago in 1924 including the first boogie woogie song, Chicago Stomp, by Jimmy Blythe.
Cute song! I remember well the Lonnie Donegan version in 1961. Dear Mother told me once that her father (1884-1964) liked this 1924 original! Fond memories of Mom and Grandpa -- a wonderful guy...
Just heard this while binging Boardwalk Empire and thought this song was hilarious. I'm the type of person to stick my gum anywhere and when my wife and I heard this, she turned to me and said "well does it?" 😅
Not only did Spike Jones do it in the 40's, but the Irish Rovers did a variety of it in the 70's, but changed it to "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight/"
my dad found an old radio that was probably from 1952, and when he turned it on (its batteries still worked) I heard this song.... someone (probably in their 90's) said it was by "billy jones"... never knew who he was.... until recently..
I didn't know this early (original) version of the song by Ernest Hare. I first discovered it on the 1977 novelty album Monster Mash from Peter Pan Records. But even that recording owes its popularity and existence to a remake of Lonnie Donegan's 1961 version by The Irish Rovers (from their 1968 album All Hung Up). So this song has had a very long shelf life! Here's my favorite version: ruclips.net/video/WB7a-LAL53I/видео.html
I am going to be absolutely amazed if I am correct and we listen to song in my 7th period class and then Ms. Leckie actually scrolls down and finds this comment, so then I can have this cool meta humor moment. If I am correct: Hey future Kevin! This was really clever of you to think of! Also you are looking good today, did you get a hair cut?
@@mdx7460 Ms. Leckie did not scroll down unfortunately, we did listen to the song but quickly changed to the lesson. I also did look good that day but I put off my haircut for the weekend!!

I am 100 years old and I remember hearing this song on the radio in 1924. **JUST KIDDING**. i heard the song on "Boardwalk Empire" tonight.

Okay I'm in my twenties, how do I have nostalgia for this song???

Almost 100 years later and science still hasn't found the answer.
This is in the public domain now!
