Chewing Gum
Mama sent me to the spring, she told me not to stay,
I fell in love with a pretty little girl, and could not get away.
CHORUS
Chawin' chewing gum, chewing chawin' gum,
Chawin' chewing gum, chewing chawin' gum.
First she give me peaches, next she give me pears,
next she give me fifty cents, kissed me on the stairs.
CHORUS
Mommy don't 'low me to whistle, poppy don't 'low me to sing,
they don't want me to marry, I'll marry just the same.
CHORUS
I wouldn't have a lawyer, I'll tell you the reason why,
every time he opens his mouth, he tells a great big lie.
CHORUS
I wouldn't have a doctor, I'll tell you the reason why,
he rides all over the country, and makes the people die.
CHORUS
I wouldn't have a farmer, I'll tell you the reason why,
because he has so plenty to eat, specially a pumpkin pie.
CHORUS
I took my girl to church last night, how do you reckon she done?
She walked right up in the preacher's face,
and chewed her chewing gum.
Chicle de mascar
Mamá me envió al manantial, me dijo que no me quedara,
Me enamoré de una linda niña, y no pude escapar.
CORO
Masticando chicle, chicle masticando,
Masticando chicle, chicle masticando.
Primero me dio duraznos, luego me dio peras,
luego me dio cincuenta centavos, me besó en las escaleras.
CORO
Mamá no me permite silbar, papá no me permite cantar,
no quieren que me case, me casaré de todos modos.
CORO
No tendría un abogado, te diré la razón por la que,
cada vez que abre la boca, cuenta una gran mentira.
CORO
No tendría un médico, te diré la razón por la que,
viaja por todo el país, y hace que la gente muera.
CORO
No tendría un granjero, te diré la razón por la que,
porque tiene mucho para comer, especialmente un pastel de calabaza.
CORO
Llevé a mi chica a la iglesia anoche, ¿cómo crees que le fue?
Caminó directamente hacia la cara del predicador,
y mascó su chicle.
