Why don’t you stop chewing that bubble gum?
You chew while you’re sleeping
And when you’re in bed
Pretty soon your teeth will
Rot out of your head.

One morning his Mother came in and said,
“Andy, why don’t you get out of bed?”
“My teeth”, said poor Andy,
“They hurt and they ache.”
“Oh no!” said his Mother,
“For goodness sake.”

“Come on to the dentist,
You Double Dum, it’s because
You chewed all that bubble gum.”
Now Andy Pandy Double Dum
Isn’t chewing any more bubble gum.
