Lyrics

[Intro]
Mm-hm
Pop
Let me think about it
[Verse 1]
Got a stick of mint on the downtown train
Little bit of sugar, little bit of brain
Lady with a poodle, man with a bass
Everybody’s chewing on their own case
I ask the window why the sky is gray
Window says nothing, so I chew away
Flavor gets lighter every mile
Kind of like a heartbreak, kind of like a smile
[Chorus]
Chewing gum philosophy (chew on that)
Stretch it out and set it free (chew on that)
Blow it big till it pops on me (chew on that)
Chewing gum philosophy
[Verse 2]
Teacher said spit it, I swallowed instead
Seven years later it’s still in my head
Rules are sticky, under the desk
Every generation leaves a little mess
Sweet in the morning, rubber by noon
Life’s a lot like a cartoon balloon
Hold it in, let it grow
Pop goes the answer, now I know
[Chorus]
Chewing gum philosophy (chew on that)
Stretch it out and set it free (chew on that)
Blow it big till it pops on me (chew on that)
Chewing gum philosophy
[Sax Solo]
[Verse 3]
Daijoubu, it’s okay
Nothing lasts but it’s fine that way
Wrap it in a paper, toss it in the bin
Grab a new piece, start again
[Chorus]
Chewing gum philosophy (chew on that)
Stretch it out and set it free (chew on that)
Blow it big till it pops on me (chew on that)
Chewing gum philosophy
[Outro]
Chew on that
Chew on that
Pop
