[78-L] Dept of meaningless lyrics?

[L78rpm at aol.com]

I own a fine tooth comb.  It has more "teeth" (or  projections) than an 
ordinary comb and is useful if you want to engage more  (rather than fewer) 
individual strands of hair as it passes through the  scalp.

Perhaps the tooth in the comb is just short of being mint  and is thus 
“fine.” Must have been a large tooth, perhaps a T-Rex tooth.  The song 
doesn’t say what the comb was made of, perhaps  marzipan.
