You're beef, you're pork, and you're bread crumbs
You're garlic, you're salt, and you're onion
You're a little cheesy cause there is cheese in you
You're a little eggy cause there's an egg or two
I put it all in a bowl and mix you through and through and through and through
I form you in my hand
I throw you in a pan
I turn the flame up and it's time
To dance, little meatball
Dance (a)round, little meatball
Dance like you own this town, little meatball
Shake your ground round around, little meatball
Get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, NOW!
Dance, little meatball, dance (dance, little meatball)
Dance, little meatball, dance (dance, little meatball)
Dance, little meatball, dance (dance, little meatball)
Dance, little meatball, dance!
You're hip, you're hot, and you're ready
You've reached the top of spaghetti
You smell a bit like a meaty bowl of stew
You've got a million bumps all over you
You're so much more than a greasy little sphere
You're a greasy little superstar
You are glistening
But are you listening
cause, meatball, here's the thing: It's time...
To dance, little meatball
Dance (a)round, little meatball
Come on, jump up and down, little meatball
You are a quarter pound, little meatball
Here we go now, 1... 2... 1-2-3-COME ON!
Dance, little meatball, dance (dance, little meatball)
Dance, little meatball, dance (dance, little meatball)
Dance, little meatball, dance (dance, little meatball)
Dance, little meatball, dance!
Meatballs! All over the world!
Italian!
Swedish!
German!
¡Albondigas!
Chef Boyardee!
IKEA!
What the heck! Matzah balls, get in there! Let me see you move!
FADE OUT!!
