Chewing Gum
Annie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well look at you.
Is that a new boy stuck on your shoe?
Come on Annie, How is it so?
You've always got a new bubble to blow.
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna get done.
I'm just a girl, that's only chewing for fun.
Wrap him round your finger like you're playing with gum.
[Chorus]
Oh no, oh no!
You've got it all wrong.
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no, oh no!
A slip of the tongue
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no.
Was there anything else?
Hey Annie, you used to be,
The only girl to take it seriously.
Come on Annie, tell us your trick.
On how you keep on getting boys to stick?
Okay, I'll tell you but you'll never look back
It's my selection; it's my pick of the pack.
Well, hot dog I'm a chewing machine.
It makes me smile, and it keeps my teeth clean.
[Chorus]
Oh no, oh no!
You've got it all wrong.
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no, oh no!
A slip of the tongue
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no, oh no!
You've got it all wrong.
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no, oh no!
No you're not the one.
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh No!
I don't want to settle down, I just want to have fun.
I don't want to settle down, I just want to chew gum.
I don't want to settle down, I just want to have fun.
I don't want to settle down, I just want to chew gum.
[Chorus]
Oh no, oh no!
You've got it all wrong.
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no, oh no!
A slip of the tongue
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no, oh no!
You've got it all wrong.
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no, oh no!
No you're not the one.
How can you
Think you're chocolate
When you're chewing gum?
Oh no!
Oh no!
The song "Chewing Gum" by Annie is all about her feeling superior to another girl who is merely a "bubblegum girl" who chews gum and magnetizes boys towards her. Annie feels that this girl does not deserve the attention she receives because, unlike her bubbly personality, chewing gum is only something one does for mere entertainment. The chorus reminds listeners that the girl's behavior is inappropriate as she is comparing herself to chocolate, which is something classy and chic, unlike the casualness of chewing gum.
Annie's lyrics seem to mock the society standards that encourage girls to behave in a particular way to attract boys. By suggesting, she is more than just a bubblegum girl, Annie is keen to establish a strong sense of individuality and identity. She refuses to be seen as a mere object of desire and admiration, rather; she wants people to appreciate her for who she is, not as a chewing gum.

@SporkThis
From the late 1800βsβ¦
Chewing Gum
I courted a girl named Alice,
it really was a sin,
I worried so about her
it made me awfui thin;
She wasn't quite perfection, bad habits she had one, and that was worse than anything,
βTwas chewing horrid gum.
.-
-ChorusI never got a word from her, but yum,
yum, yum,
Her pretty little mouth was always filled
with chewing gum;
For she'd sit and she would chew, till
her lips got black and blue.
I wish she would get through with
chewing gum, gum, gum
To parties and to sociables of course
we went for fun,
But she never went out evenings with-
out her mouth chock full of gum
And when I tried to dance with her
upon the floor or hearth,
I couldn't hear the music for the
rattle of her teeth.
I took her out a riding, the horse began to rear,
He kicked the waggon over, sent
her whizzing through the air;
When she came down upon the
ground, I thought that she was dumb,
For the only sound I got from
her was yum, yum, yum

This is one of those random songs from the 2000s that I almost convinced myself that I'd made up in my own head.
If I tried to ask someone, "Hey what's that song that goes 'Chewing-gum, oh NO!", they would have thought I was insane.
@YouTube-tied
The tv show American Rust brought me here. I'm a metalhead but this is a catchy jam.
@sweeneytodd8318
Like the one with the girl in the supermarket and everyoneβs trying to kill her
@wousley10
Was watching a Twitch stream today when someone hummed the chorus melody. Cue two hours of trying to remember this song. Was walking down a hallway when my head finally pieced together Chewing Gum and I ran to open YouTube and cure the earworm.
@duane_313
