ONE MEAT BALL
(L. Singer / H. Zaret)
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 buy 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,
This here gent wants one meatball."
The little man felt ill at ease,
Said "Some bread, sir, if you please."
The waiter hollered down the hall
"You get no bread with one meatball!"
One meatball, one meatball,
"You get no bread with one meatball!"
Little man felt so very bad,
One meat ball is all he had.
And in his dreams he can still hear that call
You get no bread with one meat ball.
