Meatballs at Night is a song from the VeggieTales episode Pistachio - The Little Boy That Woodn't. It was song by Gelato's Brothers.

Lyrics[]

Old Man Zuchinni: We should-a have listened, to what mama told us.

When it was bedtime, she'd cuddle and hold us

and say, "Boys please remember your Uncle Clark-"

All three brothers: "Never take meatballs to sea after dark!"

Pistacho (Junior Asparagus): They look a little like Gelato.

Cricket (Khaill): Eh- I'd say more Brando...or De Nero..

Pistacho: Wait a second...

Cricket: We have found Gelato's long lost brothers! Mamma mia!

All three brothers: Our sorry old uncle set out with a meatball

rowin' the stormy seas just after nightfall

and so he discovered this fact so infernal-

Great fish that love meatballs are also nocturnal!

But we didn't listen, for pride or for sprite

we set out a-rowin' with meatballs at night

and just like our uncle- Oh, God rest his soul!

For one of our meatballs, a fish ate us whole!

Pistacho: It makes me miss my father even more.

Cricket: Don't you get me crying!

All three brothers: So children please listen to your dads and mamas

as they tuck you in, in your footie pajamas

their wisdom will save you from trouble, no question!

Or waking up inside a fishy's intestine!

We're sorry, mama, that we didn't listen!

Our hearts are now heavy, our faces they glisten...

with tears of regret for our pride and our sprite-

All three brothers including Gelato: And that we took meatballs to sea in the night!
