They just don't write good novelty songs anymore. Just last night I was wondering if your chewing gum loses its flavor on the bedpost overnight...

Hadn't thought or heard of that one in years. Thanks for the remembrance.

I can sing this word for word. I would sing this one and Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.
