[Eb]Diddly da dee dee,
Da dee dee dee bolay day a lay bee
Whoa [Bb7]yeah
Boddle an day buddle ay dando wa l[Eb]ay
[VERSE 1]
[Eb]Well my mama didn't want me
On the day I was born
I was born [Bb7]without a body
I got nothing but [Eb]scorn
[Eb]But I always loved music
All I had was my hands
I dreamed I'd be[Bb7] famous
And I'd work at The [Eb]Sands
[CHORUS]
[Eb]Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
Now everyo[Bb7]ne will know
That I'm Tabletop [Eb]Joe
[VERSE 2]
[Eb]I had trouble with the pedals
But I had a strong left hand
And I could [Bb7]play Stravinsky
On a baby gra[Eb]nd
[Eb]I said, I'm gonna join the circus
Cause that's where I belong'
So I went to [Bb7]Coney Island
[Eb]I was singing this song
[CHORUS]
[Eb]Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
Now everyo[Bb7]ne will know
That I'm Tabletop [Eb]Joe
[BRIDGE]
They [Ab7]gave me top billing
In the Dreamland [Eb]show
I had my [F7]own orchestra
Starring [Bb7]Tabletop Joe
And the man without a [Eb]body
Proved everyone wrong
I was rich and I[Bb7] was famous
I was [Eb]where I belonged, yeah
[CHORUS]
[Eb]Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
Now everyo[Bb7]ne will know
That I'm Tabletop [Eb]Joe
Take it home boy
