Shel Silverstein - With His Mouth Full of Food lyrics

Milford Dupree, though he knew it was rude, Talked with his mouth full of food. He never would burp or walk out of in the nude, But he talked with his mouth full of food. His mother said, "Milford, it's crude and it's lewd To talk with your mouth full of food. Why, even the milk cow who moo'd as she chewed Never talked with her mouth full of food And the cuckoo would never have ever cuckoo'd If he coo'd with his mouth full of food." His dad said, "Get married or go get tattooed, But don't talk with your mouth full of food. And if it was a crime, you would surely get sued. If you talked with your mouth full of food. Why just like an animal you should be zoo'd As you talk with your mouth full of food. 'Cause you know we're all put in a terrible mood When you talk with your mouth full of food." They pleaded and begged. He just giggled and chewed. He laughed with his mouth full of food. And all they advised him he simply poo-poo'd He poo-poo'd with his mouth full of food. So they sent for the gluer to have his mouth glued 'Cause he talked with his mouth full of food. And now instead of "Good morning", he says, "Gnu Murnood. I wun tuk win mny marf furu foog."
