Table Top Joe lyrics
Song information
Artist: Tom Waits Album: Alice
Lyrics
I knew one day One, one, two, one, two, three
Well my mama didnТt 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 iТd 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, СiТm gonna join the circus Cause thatТs where I belongТ So I went to coney island I was singing this song
Tabletop joe, tabletop joe Now everyone knows Yeah 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
Tabletop joe, tabletop joe Now everyone knows, yeah Tabletop joe
Take it home boy
