Subject: RE: Lyr Req: One Meatball - blues song
The little man walked up and down
To find an eating place in town
He looked the menu through and through
To see what fifteen cents could do!

One MEATbaaaaallll
One MEATbaaaaallll
He could afford but one meat ball.

The little man felt ill-at-ease,
He asked the waiter, "Bread, if you please."
The waiter's roard was heard down the hall:
"You GET no bread with one meat ball!"

One MEATbaaaaallll
One MEATbaaaaallll
He could afford but one meat ball.

(Sorry -- I don't remember any more than that. But it's been fifty years after all.)
