A little man walked up and down
To find an eating place in town
He searched the menu through and through
To see what fifteen cents might do
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
He could afford 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 loudly call
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
This poor chap wants one meatball
The little man felt ill at ease
He said "Some bread sir, if you please"
The waiter shouted down the hall
"You get no bread with one meatball"
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
You get no bread with one meatball
To find an eating place in town
He searched the menu through and through
To see what fifteen cents might do
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
He could afford 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 loudly call
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
This poor chap wants one meatball
The little man felt ill at ease
He said "Some bread sir, if you please"
The waiter shouted down the hall
"You get no bread with one meatball"
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
You get no bread with one meatball
