Table Top Joe

I knew one day

One, one, two, one, two, three

Well my mama didn"t want me

On the day I was born

I was born without a body

I got nothing 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

Now everyone will know

That I'm 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

Yeah I'm 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, yeah

Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe

Now everyone knows, yeah

Tabletop Joe

Take it home boy
