LYRICS
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
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

"if I say it once, I'll say it a thousand times over: THIS MAN OF COLOR ABSOLUTELY LOVES TOM WAITS, especially when he scats and tells funny stories!!"
This man can read the newspaper and it's pure art ❤️
First time hearing this live version, and I'm freaking tickled. God DAMN it. EDIT: IT'S STILL TOM'S 74TH BIRTHDAY FOR ONE MORE HOUR IN CHICAGO! HERE'S ONE FOR YOU, TOMMY, WE ALL LOVE YOU!
I wish I could see him live!

Me too but I find it unlikely to appear in Athens, Greece.

I'm lucky enough to have seen him in Oregon in 1999.
They gave me top billing at the dreamland show, now everyone knows I’m Tabletop Joe
One of my favorites
Thanks Tom
No day is complete without some scat.. Thank you Tom
Thank you for this! I have an ever increasing longing to see and hear Tom live. I respect any decisions he makes regarding whether to perform live again or not. But I also sense on an inexplicable level, a massive storm of energy forming created by all of us who share this profound yearning. I don’t really know how to explain it -I just feel it. Deep at the core of my being I feel this is a spiritual longing having to do with the fact that Tom Waits imparts something that we connect with on a primal and sacred level. We are waiting and longing to absorb what Tom exudes.
I'd drop everything and spend most to see you live.
Love you, brother Tom. 🤟💀
But I always loved muuuuuusic
Channeling that inner Satchmo
Thanks again, legend!
Thanks Tom!
Life long Maryland resident here. I've been to Greenmount Cemetery to visit Johnny Eck's grave. He also used to paint window screens which was popular in Baltimore back in the day. Never been to a Tom Waits concert though. Damnit.
incredible, I love this choon n I love Tom
REAL RIGHTEOUS !
Was just listening to this album all day, hopped on KZread and saw this. This is a perfect beginning to Autumn. Thank you Tom.

Powerful and drunken and funny and unique voice.great tom waits.
This is awesome! Thanks for uploading, I love your music
Luv it! When are you coming to my town? Lil hugs xo
Dammit KZread, 30 seconds into the song, a random ad pops up to destroy the beautiful moment I was enjoying. Fuck KZread. I'm moving to an adless front-end.
Yay!
Great version - probably the best I've heard. It begs the question again, though, why these pointless reissues when there's material like this in the vaults, and when the 1985-1993 releases are still being ignored?
Tabletop Joe. Ya
