Tom Waits – Table Top Joe Lyrics 
Share
(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan)
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
