| There's almost nothing worse to see | A |
| Than some repulsive little bum | B |
| Who's always chewing chewing gum | B |
| It's very near as bad as those | C |
| Who sit around and pick the nose | C |
| So please believe us when we say | D |
| That chewing gum will never pay | D |
| This sticky habit's bound to send | E |
| The chewer to a sticky end | E |
| Did any of you ever know | F |
| A person called Miss Bigelow | F |
| This dreadful woman saw no wrong | G |
| In chewing chewing all day long | G |
| She chewed while bathing in the tub | H |
| She chewed while dancing at her club | H |
| She chewed in church and on the bus | I |
| It really was quite ludicrous | I |
| And when she couldn't find her gum | B |
| She'd chew up the linoleum | B |
| Or anything that happened near | J |
| A pair of boots the postman's ear | K |
| Or other people's underclothes | I |
| And once she chewed her boy friend's nose | I |
| She went on chewing till at last | L |
| Her chewing muscles grew so vast | L |
| That from her face her giant chin | M |
| Stuck out just like a violin | M |
| For years and years she chewed away | D |
| Consuming fifty packs a day | D |
| Until one summer's eve alas | I |
| A horrid business came to pass | I |
| Miss Bigelow went late to bed | N |
| For half an hour she lay and read | N |
| Chewing and chewing all the while | O |
| Like some great clockwork crocodile | O |
| At last she put her gum away | D |
| Upon a special little tray | D |
| And settled back and went to sleep | P |
| She managed this by counting sheep | P |
| But now how strange Although she slept | Q |
| Those massive jaws of hers still kept | Q |
| On chewing chewing through the night | R |
| Even with nothing there to bite | R |
| They were you see in such a groove | S |
| They positively had to move | S |
| And very grim it was to hear | K |
| In pitchy darkness loud and clear | J |
| This sleeping woman's great big trap | T |
| Opening and shutting snap snap snap | T |
| Faster and faster chop chop chop | U |
| The noise went on it wouldn't stop | U |
| Until at last her jaws decide | V |
| To pause and open extra wide | V |
| And with the most tremendous chew | W |
| They bit the lady's tongue in two | W |
| Thereafter just from chewing gum | B |
| Miss Bigelow was always dumb | B |
| And spent her life shut up in some | B |
| Disgusting sanatorium | B |
| And that is why we'll try so hard | X |
| To save Miss Violet Beauregard | X |
| From suffering an equal fate | Y |
| She's still quite young It's not too late | Y |
| Provided she survives the cure | Z |
| We hope she does We can't be sure ' | A2 |
