[Verse 1]
A little man walked up and down
He found an eating place in town
He read the menu through and through
To see what fifteen cents could do
[Chorus]
One meatball, one meatball
He could afford but one meatball
[Verse 2]
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, "What?"
[Chorus]
"One meatball, one meatball?
Hey, this here gent wants one meatball"
[Verse 3]
The little man felt ill at ease
He said, "Some bread, sir, if you please"
The waiter hollered down the hall
"You gets no bread with one meatball"
[Chorus]
"One meatball, one meatball
Well, you gets no bread with one meatball"
[Verse 4]
The little man felt very bad
One meatball was all he had
And in his dreams he hears that call
"You gets no bread with one meatball"
[Chorus]
"One meatball, and no spaghetti
One meatball
Well, you gets no bread with one meatball."
