| 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 |
