Lyrics

Well, my Mama didn't want me On the day I was born I was born without a body I got nothin' but scorn But I always loved music All I had was my hands I dreamed I'd be famous And I'd work at The Sands Singing Tabletop Joe Tabletop Joe How everyone will know Tabletop Joe I had trouble with the pedals But I had a strong left hand And I could play Stravinsky On a Baby Grand I said I'm gonna join the circus 'Cause that's where I belong So I went to Coney Island I was singing this song Tabletop Joe Tabletop Joe Now everyone knows Tabletop Joe They gave me top billing In the Dreamland show I had my own orchestra Starring Tabletop Joe And the man without a body Proved everyone wrong I was rich and I was famous I was where I belonged Tabletop Joe Tabletop Joe Now everyone knows Tabletop Joe
