You Don't Mess Around With Jim - Jim Croce[00:00:00]
Written by:Jim Croce[00:00:01]
Uptown got it's hustlers[00:00:06]
The bowery got it's bums[00:00:09]
42nd street got Big Jim Walker[00:00:12]
He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun[00:00:14]
Yeah he big and dumb as a man can come[00:00:17]
But he stronger than a country hoss[00:00:20]
And when the bad folks all get together at night[00:00:23]
You know they all call Big Jim boss[00:00:26]
Just because[00:00:29]
And they say[00:00:31]
"You don't tug on Superman's cape[00:00:32]
You don't spit into the wind[00:00:35]
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger[00:00:37]
And you don't mess around with Jim"[00:00:40]
Ba di[00:00:43]
Well outta South Alabama came a country boy[00:00:48]
He said "I'm lookin' for a man named Jim"[00:00:51]
I am a pool-shootin' boy my name Willie McCoy[00:00:54]
But down home they call me 'Slim'[00:00:56]
Yeah I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd street[00:00:59]
He drivin' a drop top Cadillac[00:01:02]
Last week he took all my money[00:01:05]
And it may sound funny[00:01:07]
But I've come to get my money back[00:01:08]
And everybody say "Jack don't you know[00:01:11]
And you don't tug on Superman's cape[00:01:14]
You don't spit into the wind[00:01:17]
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger[00:01:20]
And you don't mess around with Jim"[00:01:23]
Ba di[00:01:25]
Well a hush fell over the pool room[00:01:30]
Jimmy come boppin' in off the street[00:01:33]
And when the cuttin' were done[00:01:36]
The only part that wasn't bloody[00:01:38]
Was the soles of the big man's feet[00:01:39]
Yeah he were cut in in 'bout a hundred places[00:01:42]
And he were shot in a couple more[00:01:45]
And you better believe[00:01:48]
They sung a different kind of story[00:01:49]
When big Jim hit the floor oh[00:01:51]
Now they say[00:01:56]
"You don't tug on Superman's cape[00:01:56]
You don't spit into the wind[00:01:59]
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger[00:02:02]
And you don't mess around with Slim"[00:02:05]
Mmmm[00:02:07]
Yeah Big Jim got his hat[00:02:10]
Find out where it's at[00:02:12]
And it's not hustlin' people strange to you[00:02:14]
Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue[00:02:16]
Yeah you don't tug on Superman's cape[00:02:20]
You don't spit into the wind[00:02:24]
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger[00:02:27]
And you don't mess around with Slim[00:02:30]
Mmmm mmmm mmmm[00:02:32]
