the food critic / from the album..."ship harbor"

mr. jones was the town food critic
but there was no radio station
there was no town news paper
or any other publication
mr. jones had lost his taist buds
in the second world war
mr. jones was the local food critic
but nobody knew what for

the only restaurant in town
served fish and chips and clams
mr. jones went there every week
and reviewed it again and again
mr. jones had lost his wife
in the winter of 53
and was taken to the cleaners
by the insurance company

mr. jones was invited to every house
to give his little review
every meal was two thumbs up
he loved the people too
mr. jones didn't have any money
but that didn't seem to matter
every day he ate for free
every week got a little bit fatter
