Well, my Mama didn't want me
On the day I was born
Born without a body
I got nothin' but scorn
But I always loved music
All I had was my hands
And I dreamed I'd be famous
And I'd work at The Sands
Tabletop Joe Tabletop Joe
Everyone knows 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
And I went to Coney Island
Singing this song
Tabletop Joe Tabletop Joe
Everyone 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
Singing Tabletop Joe
Tabletop Joe
Everyone knows Tabletop Joe
