Lyrics

I knew one day
One, one, two, one, two, three

Well my mama didnТt 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 iТd 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, СiТm gonna join the circus
Cause thatТs where I belongТ
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
