Tabletop Joe,
Now everyone will know Tabletop Joe"

"I have trouble with the pedals,
but I have a strong left hand
and I could play Stravinsky on a baby grand.
I said "I'm gonna join the circus'cause that's I where I belong"
so I went to Coney Island, I was singin'this song:
Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe,
Now everyone knows Tabletop Joe.
And 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 and I was where I belonged.
Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe now everyone knows,
Tabletop Joe singing Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe..."
-Tom Waits
