Tom Waits - Table Top Joe lyrics

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 Table Top Joe Table Top Joe Now everyone knows I'm Table Top 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 Table Top Joe Table Top Joe Now everyone knows Table Top Joe They gave me top billing In the Dreamland show I had my own orchestra Starring Table Top Joe And the man without a body Proved everyone wrong I was rich and I was famous I was where I belonged, yeah Table Top Joe Table Top Joe Now everyone knows Table Top Joe Take it home, boys
