Hey Annie,
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.
I spit it out when all the flavor has gone.
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!
