Table Top Joe Well, my Mama didn't want me On the day I was born Born without a body I got nothing but scorn But I always loved music All I had was my hands And I dreamed I'd be famous And I'd work at the Sands
Singing Tabletop Joe Tabletop Joe Now everyone knows 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 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
