There once was a  man from Duluth Who they said possessed only one tooth All of his food Was either boiled or stewed It's strange, but I swear it's the truth While it's true that this man liked to eat He couldn't chew solids like meat He liked soft foods like rice Mashed potatoes were nice And bread, soft buttered whole wheat

The man with one tooth
There once was a  man from Duluth Who they said possessed only one tooth All of his food Was either boiled or stewed It's strange, but I swear it's the truth While it's true that this man liked to eat He couldn't chew solids like meat He liked soft foods like rice Mashed potatoes were nice And bread, soft buttered whole wheat
