Eb
Well my mama didn't want me

On the day I was born

           Bb7
I was born without a body

                  Eb
I got nothing but scorn

Eb
But I always loved music

All I had was my hands

                Bb7
I dreamed I'd be famous

                    Eb  
And I'd work at The Sands

[CHORUS]

Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe

          Bb7
Now everyone will know

That I'm Tabletop Joe

Eb
I had trouble with the pedals

But I had a strong left hand

            Bb7
And I could play Stravinsky

             Eb
On a baby grand

Eb
I said, I'm gonna join the circus

Cause that's where I belong'

             Bb7
So I went to Coney Island

Eb
I was singing this song

They gave me top billing

                 Eb
In the Dreamland show

         F7
I had my own orchestra

         Bb7
Starring Tabletop Joe

                      Eb
And the man without a body

Proved everyone wrong

                Bb7
I was rich and I was famous

      Eb
I was where I belonged, yeah

[CHORUS]

Eb
Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe

          Bb7
Now everyone will know

                  Eb
That I'm Tabletop Joe
