One Meatball (George Martin Lane cover)
original by: George Martin Lane

from The Speakeasy Serenaders: Songs Of The People (2013 April 30) (3:40)
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

One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
One meatball, one meatball
You get no bread with one meatball
