Little man walked up and down
To find an eating place in town
He looked the menues through and through
See, what a dollar bill might do
One meatball, one meatball, one meatball,
All he could get was just one meatball
He told the waiter near at hand
The simple dinner he had planned
The guests were startled, one and all
To hear the waiter loudly call
One meatball, one meatball, one meatball
This lousy guy gets just one meatball
Little man was so ill at ease
He said, some bread, Sir, if you'd please
The waiter hollered way down the hall
You don't get bread with your one meatball
One meatball, one meatball, one meatball
You don't get bread with your one meatball
Little man felt so very bad
Just one meatball was all he had
And in his dreams he can still that call
You won't get bread with your one meatball
One meatball, one meatball, one meatball
You won't get bread with your one meatball
