Mama sent me to the spring
She told me not to stay
I fell in
love with a pretty little girl
And could not get away
Chawing chewing
gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing
gum
First she give me peaches
Then she give me pears
Next she give
me fifty cents
Kissed me on the stairs
Chawing chewing gum, chewing
chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Mommy don't 'low
me to whistle
Pappy don't 'low me to sing
They don't 'low me to
marry
I'll marry just the same
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing
gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I wouldn't have a
lawyer
I'll tell you the reason why
Every time he opens his mouth
He
tells a great big lie
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing
chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
I wouldn't have a doctor
I'll tell
you the reason why
He rides all over the country
And makes the people
die
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum,
chewing chawing gum
I wouldn't have a farmer
I'll tell you the reason
why
Because he has so plenty to eat
'Specially pumpkin pie
Chawing
chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing
gum
I took my girl to church last night
How do you reckon she
done?
She walked right up in the preacher's face
And chawed her chewing
gum
Chawing chewing gum, chewing chawing gum
Chawing chewing gum,
chewing chawing gum
