poison - you don’t mess around with jim lyrics

[intro]
hey!
come on, now, everyone sit down, shut up a bit
give me a chance to talk, it’s my turn

[verse 1]
well, uptown got its hustlers and 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
he stronger than a country horse
and when the bad folks all get together at night
well, they all call big jim “boss”, just because

[chorus]
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”
oh, no

[verse 2]
from south alabama come a country boy
he said, “i’m lookin’ for a man named jim
now, i’m a pool+shootin’ boy, my name’s willie mccoy
down at homе, folks call me slim
i’m lookin’ for the man of 42nd street
he drivin’ somе drop top cadillac
and i know it sound funny, but he took all my money
now i come to get my money back”
everybody say, “jack” (jack)
[chorus]
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”

[verse 3]
a hush fell over the pool room
as jimmy walked off the street
and when the cuttin’ were done
the only part that wasn’t bl++dy was the soles of the big man’s feet
he was cut in a million places and was shot in a couple more
and you better believe they told a different kind of story
when big jim hit the floor
“see ya, jim boy!”

[chorus]
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 slim”

[interlude]
now, if i had been jim
i would’ve taken the all the money, grab the best looking girl i seen
jumped in my car and got the h+ll out of town
you’d see me no more
[chorus]
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

[outro]
oh, don’t be messin’ now
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
