[VERSE 1]
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]
Eb
Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
          Bb7
Now everyone will know
                  Eb
That I'm Tabletop Joe

[VERSE 2]
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

[CHORUS]
Eb
Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
          Bb7
Now everyone will know
                  Eb
That I'm Tabletop Joe

[BRIDGE]
     Ab7 
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

Take it home boy
