[00:00.00]You Don't Mess Around With Jim - Graham Blvd
[00:06.20]Uptown got it's hustlers
[00:08.63]And the bowery got it's bums
[00:11.70]42nd street got Big Jim Walker
[00:14.13]He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun
[00:17.02]Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come
[00:19.85]But he's stronger than a country horse
[00:22.61]And when the bad folks all get together at night
[00:25.48]You know they all call Big Jim boss
[00:28.12]Just because
[00:30.43]And they say
[00:31.25]"You don't tug on Superman's cape
[00:34.39]You don't spit into the wind
[00:37.34]You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
[00:40.11]And you don't mess around with Jim"
[00:47.56]Well, outta South Alabama came a country boy
[00:50.27]He said, "I'm lookin' for a man named Jim"
[00:53.14]I am a pool-shootin' boy, my name Willie McCoy
[00:55.92]But down home they just call me, 'Slim'"
[00:58.83]Yeah, I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd street
[01:01.27]He drivin' a drop top Cadillac
[01:04.36]Last week he took all my money
[01:05.96]And it may sound funny
[01:07.32]But I've come to get my money back
[01:09.94]And everybody say, "Jack, don't you know?
[01:12.77]And you don't tug on Superman's cape
[01:16.03]You don't spit into the wind
[01:18.96]You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
[01:21.76]And you don't mess around with Jim"
[01:29.06]Well, a hush fell over the pool room
[01:31.52]Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
[01:34.79]And when the cuttin' were done
[01:36.28]The only part that wasn't bloody
[01:37.77]Was the soles of the big man's feet
[01:40.72]Yeah, he were cut in in 'bout a hundred places
[01:43.58]And he were shot in a couple more
[01:46.51]And you better believe
[01:47.80]They sung a different kind of story
[01:49.43]When big Jim hit the floor
[01:54.55]Now they say
[01:55.16]"You don't tug on Superman's cape
[01:58.14]You don't spit into the wind
[02:00.98]You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
[02:03.88]And you don't mess around with Slim"
[02:09.68]Yeah, Big Jim got his hat
[02:11.84]Find out where it's at
[02:13.35]And it's not hustlin' people strange to you
[02:15.16]Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue
[02:19.45]Yeah, you don't tug on Superman's cape
[02:22.82]You don't spit into the wind
[02:25.76]You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
[02:28.57]And you don't mess around with Slim
