[00:07.031]Uptown got its hustlers
[00:09.976]The bowery got its bums
[00:12.950]42nd Street got Big Jim Walker
[00:15.666]He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun
[00:18.358]Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come
[00:21.273]But he stronger than a country hoss
[00:24.279]And when the bad folks all get together at night
[00:26.986]You know they all call big Jim "Boss", just because
[00:32.402]And they say
[00:33.209]"You don't tug on Superman's cape
[00:35.880]You don't spit into the wind
[00:38.881]You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
[00:41.847]And you don't mess around with Jim"
[00:49.033]Well outta south Alabama come a country boy
[00:52.251]He said, "I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
[00:55.169]I am a pool-shootin' boy
[00:56.811]my name's Willie McCoy
[00:58.153]But down at home they call me Slim
[01:01.103]Yeah I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd Street
[01:03.548]He drivin' a drop top Cadillac
[01:06.778]Last week he took all my money
[01:08.367]and it may sound funny
[01:09.715]But I come to get my money back"
[01:12.374]And everybody say, "Jack don't you know
[01:15.012]You don't tug on Superman's cape
[01:18.751]You don't spit into the wind
[01:21.696]You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
[01:24.638]And you don't mess around with Jim"
[01:31.886]Well, a hush fell over the pool room
[01:34.623]Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
[01:37.816]And when the cuttin' was done
[01:39.096]The only part that wasn't bloody
[01:40.691]Was the soles of the big man's feet, ooh
[01:43.608]And he was cut in about a hundred places
[01:46.297]And he was shot in a couple more
[01:49.540]And you better believe
[01:50.882]They sung a different kind of story
[01:52.484]When big Jim hit the floor now, they say
[01:58.138]You don't tug on Superman's cape
[02:01.068]You don't spit into the wind
[02:04.046]You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
[02:07.030]And you don't mess around with Slim
[02:12.116]Yeah, big Jim got his hat
[02:14.228]Find out where it's at
[02:15.566]And it's not hustlin' people strange to you
[02:17.393]Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue
[02:22.246]Yeah you don't tug on Superman's cape
[02:25.735]You don't spit into the wind
[02:28.689]You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
[02:31.637]And you don't mess around with Slim
