One Meatball - Ry Cooder

The little man walked up and down

To find an eating place in town

He read the menu through and through

To see what fifteen cents could do

One meat ball

One meat ball

He could afford but one meat ball

Well he told the waiter near at hand

The simple dinner he had planned

The guests were startled one and all

To here that waiter loudly call

One meat ball

One meat ball

Well this here gent wants one meat ball

The little man felt very sad

One meat ball was all he had

And in his dreams he hears that call

Ya gets no bread with one meat ball

One meat ball

One meat ball

And ya gets no bread with one meat ball

Well he could afford but one meat ball

One meat ball

One meat ball

All he could afford was one meat ball
