GUM
Mustard Plug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.
I didn't know that it could be so much fun,
to spend my life just chewin' gum.
Chewin' Chewin', Chewin' my gum.
I say it is a natural obsession,
in fact it's on my very posession.
So super fruity, you're makin' me chew.
With all the gum that passes my way,
in my mouth you will always stay.
I vow to stick with you through thick and thin,
even though the cavities are starting to set in.
My friends say that it will never last,
said soon your flavor will be a thing of the past.
But I don't listen to a word they say
because I know that you were the best part of my day.
With all the gum that passes my way,
in my mouth you will always stay.
I vow to stick with you through thick and thin,
even though the cavities are startin' to set in.
