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

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 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
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
