"On Top of Spaghetti" is a well-known balla and children's song written and originally performed by folk singer Tom Glazer in 1963. The song is sung to the tune of "On Top Of Old Smoky". The song is essentially the tale of a meatball that was lost when "somebody sneezed". The song discusses what happens to the meatball after it was lost. A group of children (billed on a 45 rpm record as "Sharon and the Lollipops") sing the chorus in the original recording.
