Diddly da dee dee, Da dee dee dee bolay day a lay bee Whoa yeah Boddle an day buddle ay dando wa lay 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 Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe Now everyone will know That 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 Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe Now everyone will know That I'm Tabletop Joe Take it home boy
