Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around with Jim | |
Uptown got it's hustlers | |
The bowery got it's bums | |
42nd Street got Big Jim Walker | |
He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun | |
Yeah, 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 that old Lone Ranger | |
And you don't mess around with Jim | |
Well outta south Alabama come a country boy | |
He say I'm lookin' for a man named Jim | |
I am a pool-shootin' boy | |
By name 'a Willie McCoy | |
But down home they call me Slim | |
Yeah I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd Street | |
He drivin' a drop top Cadillac | |
Last week he took all my money | |
And it may sound funny | |
But I come to get my money back | |
And everybody say Jack don't you know | |
You don't tug on Superman's cape | |
You don't spit into the wind | |
You don't pull the mask off that 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' was done | |
The only part that wasn't bloody | |
Was the soles of the big man's feet, ooh | |
And he was cut in about a hundred places | |
And he were shot in a couple more | |
And you better believe | |
There come another kind of story | |
When big Jim hit the floor 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 that old Lone Ranger | |
And you don't mess around with Slim | |
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 | |
Yeah 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 |
