ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI,
ALL COVERED WITH CHEESE,
I LOST MY POOR MEATBALL.
WHEN SOMEBODY SNEEZED.
IT ROLLED OFF THE TABLE , AND ONTO THE FLOOR.
THEN MY POOR MEATBALL ROLLED OUT OF THE DOOR.
IT ROLLED INTO THE GARDEN AND UNDER A BUSH
AND NOW MY POOR MEATBALL IS NOTHING BUT MUSH.

SONG ABOUT MEATBALLS.
ON TOP OF SPAGETTI
ALL COVERED WITH CHEESE
I LOST MY TWO MEATBALLS
WHEN SOMEBODY SNEEZED.
THEY ROLLED OFF THE TABLE
AND ON TO THE FLOOR.
THE LAST TIME I SAW THEM
THEY ROLLED OUT THE DOOR.
A TRUCK RAN THEM OVER.
THEY DIED THE NEXT DAY--
WE'LL HONOR THEM TRULY
ON " MEMORIAL DAY "

CHINKATEE CHUU CHUU PAN
ONCE THERE LIVED A CHINA MAN
HIS NAME WAS CHINKATEE CHUU CHUU PAN
HIS LEGS WERE LONG
HIS FEET WERE SHORT
POOR LITTLE CHINK COULD HARDLY WALK
AT LAST ONE DAY HE DID DIE
AND IN HIS COFFIN HE DID LIE
THEY SENT HIS BODY TO JAPAN
AND THAT WAS THE END OF THE CHINA MAN.
CHINKATEE, CHINKATEE CHUU CHUU PAN
ALA GA WAL A GA, STUN OF A LULA GA
AND THAT WAS THE END OF THE CHINA MAN.
