lirik lagu you don’t mess around with jim (50th anniversary edition) – jim croce
[verse 1]
uptown got its hustlers
the bowery got its 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
[chorus]
“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”
[verse 2]
well, outta south alabama come a country boy
he said, “i’m lookin’ for a man named jim
i am a pool*shootin’ boy, my name’s willie mccoy
but down at 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 monеy back”
and everybody say, “jack, don’t you know
[chorus]
you don’t tug on superman’s capе
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”
[verse 3]
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 bl**dy
was the soles of the big man’s feet, ooh
yeah, 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, oh
now, they sing
[chorus]
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
[bridge]
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
[chorus]
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
