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 tɾouble with the pedals
But I had a stɾong [Am]left hand
And I could play Stɾavinsky
On a baby grand
I said, â??I'm gonna join the circus
Cause that's where I belong'
So I went to [C7]Coney Island
I was [Am7]singing this song
Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
Now everyone knows
Yeah I'm Tabletop Joe
They gave me top billing
In the Dreamland [Bm]show
I had my [A]own orchestɾa
Starring Tabletop Joe
And the man without a body
Proved everyone wrong
I was [Am7]ɾich and [Bm]I was [Am7]famous
I was [Am7]where I belonged, yeah
Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
Now everyone knows, yeah
Tabletop Joe
Take it home boy
