Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour On The Bedpost Overnight Cifras para ukulele

The 1959 single version of this song has very similar lyrics to the original version written in the 1920s.
The lyrics here are taken from one of Lonnie's live performances and the lyrics are therefore mostly his
own work.
