VERSE 1
Mamma fetched me to th spring
She told me not to stay
I fell in love with a pretty little girl
An' couldn't get away
CHORUS:
Chawin', chewin' gum
Chewin', chawin' gum
Chewin', chawin' gum
Chewin', chawin' gum

I wouldn't marry a doctor
Tell you the reason why
Drives all over th country
An' makes th people die
VERSE 3
Wouldn't marry a lawyer
Tell you th reason why
Everytime he opens his mouth
Tells a great big lie
VERSE 4
Wouldn't marry a farmer
Tell you th reason why
Haven't anything to eat
Exceptin' pumkin pie
VERSE 5
I took my girl to church last night
N' tell you what se done
She got right up in th preachers face
Chawed her chewin' gum
