Uptown got its hustlers,
The bowery got its bums
Forly-second Street got
Big Jimmy Walker,

He 0 pooI-shoofin'
Son of a gun
Yeah, he big and dumb

As a man can come,

Buf he's stronger than
A country hoss
And when he bod folks
All get together at night,

You know they all call
Big Jim Boss,
Just because
And they say,

You don't tug on

Superman's cope,
You don't spit
Into the wind
Well, 00110

South Ala b0 mo

Come 0 country boy
I am a pooI-shootin' boy,
My name is

Willie McCoy,
But down home
They call me Slim
Yeah, I'm lookin' for

The King of

Forfy-second Street,
He drivin' o drop-fop
Cadillac
Last week
He took all my money,

And it may sound funny,
But I come to get
My money back
You don't tug on
Superman's cope,

You don't spit
Into the wind
You don't pull
The mask OH

The old Lone Ranger,
And you don't

Mess around with Jim
Well, 0 hush fell over

The poolroom,

Jimmy came boppin' in
Off the street
And when he cuHin'
Was done, the only part

That wasn't bloody was
The soles of
The big man's feet
And you beHer believe,
I sung a

Different kinda story
When-o Big Jim
Hit the floor
And they say,

You don't tug on

Superman's cope,
You don't spit
Into the wind
You don't pull
The mask OH

The old Lone Ranger,
And you don't

Mess around with Slim
Find out where it's of,

NS not hustlin' people
Strange to you
Even if you do got
A fwo-piece, custom- made

Pool cue,
Hm mm
Yeah, you don't tug on
Superman's cope,

You don't spit
Into the wind
Mm mm mm

Mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm
