Uptown Got Its Hustlers, the Bow'ry Got Its Bums
|
Forty Second Street Got Big Jim Walker
|
He's A Pool Shootin' Son Of A Gun
|
Yeah He's Big & Dumb As A Man Can Come
|
But He's Stronger Than A Country Hoss
|
And When The Bad Folks All Get Together At Night
|
You Know They All Call Big Jim "Boss"
|
Just Because, And They Say
|
|
You Don't Tug On Superman's Cape
|
You Don't Spit Into The Wind
|
You Don't Pull The Mask Off The Old Lone Ranger
|
And You Don't Mess Around With Jim
|
|
Well Out Of South Alabama Came A Country Boy
|
He Said "I'm Looking For A Man Named Jim
|
I'm A Pool Shhotin' Boy, My Name Is Willie McCoy
|
But Down Home They Call Me Slim
|
Yeah I'm Lookin' For The King Of Forty Second Street
|
He's Drivin' A Drop Top Cadillac
|
Last Week He Took All My Money & It May Sound Funny
|
But I've Come To Get My Money Back"
|
And Everybody Say "Jack
|
|
You Don't Tug On Superman's Cape
|
You Don't Spit Into The Wind
|
You Don't Pull The Mask Off The Old Lone Ranger
|
And You Don't Mess Around With Jim"
|
|
Well A Hush Fell Over The Room
|
Jimmy Came Boppin' In Off The Street
|
And When The Cuttin Was Done The Only Part That Wasn't Bloody
|
Was The Soles Of The Big Man's Feet
|
Yeah, He Were Cut In 'Bout A Hundred Places
|
And He Were Shot In A Couple More
|
And You Better Believe They Sung A Diff'rent Kind Of Story
|
When Big Jim Hit The Floor. Oh Now They Say
|
|
You Don't Tug On Superman's Cape
|
You Don't Spit Into The Wind
|
You Don't Pull The Mask Off The Old Lone Ranger
|
And You Don't Mess Around With Jim
|
|
You Don't Tug On Superman's Cape
|
You Don't Spit Into The Wind
|
You Don't Pull The Mask Off The Old Lone Ranger And You Don't Mess
|
Around With Slim"
|
|
Yeah, Big Jim Got His Hat, Find Out Where It's At
|
And Not Hustling People Strange To You
|
Even If You Do Got A Two-Piece Custom Made Pool Cue
|

You Don't Mess Around With Jim
