CHEWING GUM BOOGIE
I said fee fi fo fum
I stuck my plates with chewing gum
I said fee fi fo fum
I stuck my plates with chewing gum
The NHS issued them for free
But however hard I tried they wouldn't fit me
I said fee fi fo fum
I stuck those plates with chewing gum
I said fee fi fo fum
I stuck those plates with chewing gum
The sticks I used cost quite a buck
But I told my girl that at least they stuck
The dentist said you'll lose your teeth
If you don't brush them underneath
And then go brush the ones on top
Go brush them hard until you drop
He said hear me out chum
Go stick those plates with chewing gum
He said hear me out chum
Go stick those plates with chewing gum
The sticks I used made my gums so sore
And my girl don't love me any more
O well she gave me a photo of herself
I put it face down on the shelf
I tapped a nail into the wall
But I couldn't get it to stay up at all
I said fee fi fo fum
I stuck them up with chewing gum
I said fee fi fo fum
I stuck them up with chewing gum
The sticks I used wouldn't mend a cup
So I poured her some coffee and I filled her up
My daddy said don't drive my car
Cos it won't get you very far
I listened to that engine hum
And stuck them plates with chewing gum
He said hear me out son
You got that Model-T to run
He said hear me out son
You got that Model-T to run
Go sit yourself behind that wheel
And go drive her hard and go make her squeal
Oh well I met the Queen the other day
And I didn't quite know what to say
Her corgi looking somewhat glum
I offered it my chewing gum
I said keep your head mum
I offered it my chewing gum
I said keep your head mum
I offered it my chewing gum
You put your corgi on too much meat
But as of today it's gonna need that treat
Oh well me mammy she loves her new washing machine
But it wasn't washing those sheets so clean
I took a look inside that drum
And I stuck those plates with chewing gum
I said hear me out mum
I stuck those plates with chewing gum
I said hear me out mum
I stuck those plates with chewing gum
The plates they played that boogy beat
Till my girl and me we doused that sheet
I said fee fi fo fum
I stuck those plates with chewing gum
I said fee fi fo fum
I stuck those plates with chewing gum
The plates they played that boogy beat
Till my girl and me we doused that sheet
