So, you've found yourself humming a tune, and it's not just any tune, it's Got Another Mouth to Feed. You're not alone, friend. This little ditty has been sticking in our collective craw for decades now.
Where'd It Come From?
You're probably wondering, "Where did this song even come from?" Well, grab your coffee, 'cause we're about to take a little trip down memory lane.

"I've got my hands full, setting them to work," he sings, "But how can I feed the little wretch?" It's a tongue-in-cheek complaint, really. He might grumble, but he'd never turn one of his kids away.
