Tom Waits

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 love 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 who knows Tabletop Joe

I had trouble with the pedals
But I had strong left hand
And I could play Stravinsky
On a baby grand
I said I´m gonna join the circus
´Cause thatś where I belong
An I went to Coney island
Singing this song

Tabletop Joe Tabletop Joe Everyone who 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 who knows Tabletop Joe
