Текст песни Tom Waits - Table Top Joe

Diddly da dee dee,

Da dee dee dee bolay day a lay bee
Whoa yeah
Boddle an day buddle ay dando wa lay

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, 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, I'm gonna join the circus

Cause that's where I belong'
So I went to Coney Island
I was singing this song

Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
Now everyone will know
That 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

Singing, Tabletop Joe, Tabletop Joe
Now everyone will know
That I'm Tabletop Joe

Take it home boy
