Lyrics

1,2,1 2 3
(Gibberish)
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..
