Quote: I was once sung a very much longer version, with several verses.
Quote: On Top of Spaghetti had many, many verses to it.
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 then the next summer,
It grew into a tree,
The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce,
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.
(This is attributed to a scouts' campfire song on the site where I found it, another site attributes it to Tom Glazer, who had a hit with it in 1963, maybe it's just a clouded abberation in my memory that Stan Freberg did it at all)
