That's an old song my asshole stepfather used to sing all the time & I can't get it out of my head lately!
ONE MEAT BALL
(L. Singer / H. Zaret)
Recorded by : Bjorn Berge; Ry Cooder; Bing Crosby; Baby Jane Dexter; Ella Jenkins; Mustard's Retreat;
Ann Rabson; Red Clay Ramblers; Annie Ross; The Andrew Sisters; Tinklers; Dave Van Ronk; Josh White Jr.
Little man walked up and down,
To find an eatin' place in town.
He looked the menu thru and thru,
To see what a dollar bill might do.
CHORUS:
One meat ball,
One meat ball,
One meat ball,
All he could get was one meat ball.
He told that waiter near at hand,
The simple dinner he had planned.
The guests were startled one and all,
To hear that waiter loudly call.
Repeat CHORUS
Little man felt so ill at ease,
He said: "Some bread Sir, if you please."
The waiter hollered down the hall:
You get no bread with your one meat ball.
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 your one meat ball.

That is a cute song.
I am glad to see that you had a legitimate source from which the thead arose. I was beginning to wonder where your mind had wandered to, haha.
Today, you can get bread with your one meatball. The only thing is, the meatball is TWO bucks instead of a dollar, and a side order of bread is another two bucks.

I made sauce last weekened, but I never bother to make the meatballs myself~~we always buy Dino's meatballs. I swear, you can't beat them (especially when they're on sale for $1.99/lb.).

YUP, Dino's or nothing. Only thing that comes close is the ones
my nonnie would make from scratch. I miss them and the homemade
gnocchi too.
Yum Yum

Ya gotta know Ry Cooder had his hand in that song. He's got an excellence sense for the humorous.
My brother makes the world's best meatballs -- the fresh parsley and garlic alone will make you cry.
