Chewin' Gum

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't like stakes or fancy cake

I'm full of ice cream food

I have just one effection

I really love to chew

Lollipop or chocolate drop

Have no effect on me

But when I have some chewin' gum

I'm as happy as can be

My mama gave me a penny

To buy some candy

I didn't want the candy

So I bought some chewin' gum

(Oh, yum, yum,yum)

I love my gum

My mama gave me a nickle

To buy a pickle

I didn't want a pickle

So I bought some chewin' gum

(Oh, yum, yum,yum)

I bought some gum

Each time I find myself with a guy

I hurry to the store

Cause' the boy who sells me chewin' gum

Is the one that I adore

My mama gave me a quater

For solter water

I know I had an order

But I bought some chewin' gum

...
