On top of Spaghetti

To settle an Equality Advocates debate, the following are the Lyrics
to a Children's Song that we were singing at the office this morning.

On top Of spaghetti
All covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table
And on to the floor
And then my poor meatball
Rolled out of the door

It rolled in the garden
And under a bush
And then my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush

The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be
And early next summer
It grew into a tree
The tree was all covered
With beautiful moss
It grew lovely meatballs
And tomato sause

So if you eat spaghetti
All covered with cheese
Hold on to your meatball
And don't ever sneeze

As an interesting aside, the songwriter who composed this master piece
to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey" was Philadelphian Tom Glazer.

Leave it to a Philadelphian to associate Children's music with Italian food.
