Hey!! Come on now, everyone sit down and shut up a minute.
|
Give me a chance to talk, it's my turn.
|
|
Uptown got it's hustlers
|
Bowery got it's bums
|
42nd Street got Big Jim Walker
|
He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun
|
Yea, he big and dumb as a man can come
|
But he 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
|
|
From south Alabama came a country boy
|
Hey say I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
|
I am a pool-shootin' boy
|
My name Willie McCoy
|
But down home folks call me Slim
|
Yea I'm lookin' for the man of 42nd Street
|
He drivin' some drop top Cadillac
|
And I know it sounds funny, but he took all my money,
|
now I come to get my money back.
|
And everybody say Jack (JACK)
|
|
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 a hush fell over the pool room
|
Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
|
And when the cuttin' were done
|
The only part that wasn't bloody
|
Was the soles of the big man's feet
|
Yea he were cut in a million places
|
And he were shot in a couple more
|
And you better believe
|
They told a different kind of story
|
When big Jim hit the floor ... See ya Jim Boy. 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 Slim
|
|
[Spoken]
|
Now, if I were Big Jim, I woulda Taken all the money,
|
grabbed the best looking girl I seen,
|
jumped in my car, and got the hell outta town.
|
You'd see me NOOO more.
|
|
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
|
|
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
|

You Don't Mess Around With Jim
