|
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
|
|
Singin' Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
|
Now everyone will know Tabletop Joe
|
|
I have trouble with the pedals
|
but I have a strong left hand
|
and I could play Stravinsky
|
on a baby grand
|
I said "I'm gonna join the circus
|
cause that's I where I belong"
|
so I went to Coney Island
|
I was singin'this song
|
Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe,
|
Now everyonw knows, Tabletop Joe
|
and 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
|
and I was where I belonged
|
Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
|
now everyone knows, Tabletop Joe
|
now everyone knows, Tabletop Joe
|
singing Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe...
