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!
