Current song lyrics
Up-town got its hustlers, the Bow'ry got its bums<br />And 42nd Street got Big Jim Walker <br />He a pool-shootin' son of a gun <br />Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come <br />But he stronger than a country hoss <br />And when the bad folks all get together at night <br />You know they all call Big Jim "Boss," just because <br /><br />And they say, "you don't tug on Superman's cape <br />You don't spit into the wind <br />You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger <br />And you don't mess around with Jim" <br />A doo-dn-doo-da-da-dee-dee-dn-dee-dee-dee<br /><br />Well, out of South Alabama come a country boy <br />He said, "I'm lookin' for a man named Jim <br />I am a pool-shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy <br />But down at home they call me Slim <br />Yeah, I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd Street <br />He drivin' a drop-top Cadillac <br />Last week he took all my money and it may sound funny <br />But I come to get my money back <br />And ev'rybody say, Jack, don't you know that<br /><br />"You don't tug on Superman's cape<br />You don't spit into the wind <br />You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger <br />And you don't mess around with Jim" <br />A doo-dn-doo-da-da-dee-dee-dn-dee-dee-dee<br /><br />Well, a hush fell over the pool room <br />When Jimmy come boppin' in off the street <br />And when the cuttin' were done, the only part that wasn't bloody <br />Was the soles of the big man's feet <br />Yeah, he was cut in 'bout a hundred places <br />And he was shot in a couple more <br />And you better believe they sung a diff'rent kind of story <br />When a Big Jim hit the floor - oh oh oh<br /><br />Yeah, they say, "you don't tug on Superman's cape <br />You don't spit into the wind <br />You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger <br />And you don't mess around with Slim" <br />Mmmmh<br /><br />Yeah, Big Jim got his hat, found out where it's at <br />And not hustling people strange to you <br />Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue, mmh<br /><br />Yeah, you don't tug on Superman's cape <br />You don't spit into the wind <br />You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger <br />And you don't mess around with Slim" <br />Mmmmh, mmmh ....
