You Don't Mess Around With Jim
4
Uptown got it's hustlers
5
The bowery got it's bums
6
42nd Street got Big Jim Walker
7
He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun
8
Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come
9
But he stronger than a country hoss
10
And when the bad folks all get together at night
11
You know they all call big Jim "Boss", just because
12
And they say
13
You don't tug on Superman's cape
14
You don't spit into the wind
15
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
16
And you don't mess around with Jim
17
Well outta south Alabama came a country boy
18
He say I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
19
I am a pool-shootin' boy
20
My name Willie McCoy
21
But down home they call me Slim
22
Yeah I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd Street
23
He drivin' a drop top Cadillac
24
Last week he took all my money
25
And it may sound funny
26
But I come to get my money back
27
And everybody say Jack don't you know
28
And you don't tug on Superman's cape
29
You don't spit into the wind
30
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
31
And you don't mess around with Jim
32
Well a hush fell over the pool room
33
Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
34
And when the cuttin' were done
35
The only part that wasn't bloody
36
Was the soles of the big man's feet
37
Yeah he were cut in in bout a hundred places
38
And he were shot in a couple more
39
And you better believe
40
They sung a different kind of story
41
When big Jim hit the floor now they say
42
You don't tug on Superman's cape
43
You don't spit into the wind
44
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
45
And you don't mess around with Slim
46
Yeah, big Jim got his hat
47
Find out where it's at
48
And it's not hustlin' people strange to you
49
Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue
50
Yeah you don't tug on Superman's cape
51
You don't spit into the wind
52
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
53
And you don't mess around with Slim
You Don't Mess Around with Jim
