You Don't Mess Around With Jim |
| Uptown got its hustlers |
| Bowery got its bums |
| 42nd Street got big Jim Walker |
| He’s a pool-shootin' son of a gun |
| Yea 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 the old Lone Ranger |
| And you don’t mess around with Jim |
| Well outa south Alabama come a country boy |
| He say I’m lookin' for a man named Jim |
| I am a pool shootin' boy |
| My name Willie McCoy |
| But down home they call me Slim |
| Yea 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 that |
| (REPEAT CHORUS) |
| Well a hush fell over the pool room |
| Jimmy come boppin' in off the street |
| And when the cuttin' were done |
| The only part that wasn’t bloody |
| Was the soles of the big man’s feet |
| Yea he were cut in 'bout a hundred places |
| And he were shot in a couple more |
| And you better believe |
| They sung a diffrent kind of story |
| When big Jim hit the floor… now they say |
| (REPEAT CHORUS And you don’t mess |
| around with Slim) |
| Yea, big Jim got his hat |
| Find out where it’s at And it’s not hustling people strange to you |
| Even if you do got a two piece custom made |
| pool cue… yea |
| (REPEAT CHORUS) |
