Lyrics
One Meatball
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A little man walked up and down
He found an eating place in town
He looked the menu through and through
To see what fifteen cents could do
One meatball, one meatball
He couldn't bought but one meatball
He told the waiter near at hand
The simple dinner he had planned
The guests were startled, one and all
To hear that waiter oddly call
One meatball, one meatball
This here gent wants one meatball
The little man felt ill at ease,
Said "Some bread, son, if you please"
The waiter hollered down the hall
"Ya gets no bread with one meatball"
One meatball, one meatball
"Ya gets no bread with one meatball"
