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
