Lyrics You Don't Mess Around with Jim

Uptown got its hustlers the bowery's got its bums

Forty second Street's got

Big Jim Walker

He's a pool shootin' son of a gun

Yeah he's big and 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 of that old Lone Ranger

And you don't mess around with Jim

Bah dooh dooh dooh deeh dah deeh deeh deeh deeh deeh deeh

Well out of South Alabama come a country boy

He said I'm lookin' for a man named Jim

I am a pool shootin' boy my name is Willie McCoy

But back home they call me Slim

He said I'm lookin' for the king of forty second Street he's drivin' a drop top Cadillac

And last week he took all my money and it may sound funny

But I come to get my money back

And everybody say Jack ooh don't you know that you don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind you don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Jim

Bah dooh dooh dooh deeh dah deeh deeh deeh deeh deeh

Well a hush fell over the pool room when Jimmy come 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, whoo

He was cut in 'bout a hundred places

And he was shot in a couple more

And you better believe they sung a different kind of story when Big Jim hit the floor uh uh uh

You don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind

You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Slim mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh

Yeah Big Jim got his hat

Find out where it's at and it's not hustlin' people strange to you

Even if you do got a two piece custom made pool cue ah ah

Yeah you don't tug on Superman's cape

You don't spit into the wind

You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger

And you don't mess around with Slim

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
