Song lyrics:

UPTOWN GOT ITS HUSTLERS
THE BOWERY GOT ITS BUMS
FORTY-SECOND STREET
GOT BIG JIM WALKER
HE A POOL-SHOOTIN'
SON OF A GUN

YEAH, HE BIG AND DUMB
AS A MAN CAN COME
BUT HE STRONGER
THAN A COUNTRY HORSE

AND WHEN THE BAD 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 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
BA-DO-DUN-DO-DA-DA
DEE-DEET-N-DEE-DEE-DEE

WELL, OUTTA SOUTH ALABAMA
COME A COUNTRY BOY
HE SAID I'M LOOKIN'
FOR A MAN NAMED JIM

I AM A POOL-SHOOTIN' BOY
MY NAME IS WILLIE MCCOY
BUT DOWN HOME
THEY CALL ME SLIM

YEAH, I'M LOOKIN'
FOR THE KING OF
FORTY-SECOND 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
HOO, DON'T YOU KNOW
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
BA-DO-DUN-DO-DA-DA
DEE-DEET-N-DEE-DEE-DEE

WELL, A HUSH
FELL OVER THE POOL ROOM
AND 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

YEAH, HE WERE CUT IN
'BOUT A HUNDRED PLACES
AND HE WERE SHOT
IN A COUPLE MORE

AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE
THEY SUNG A DIFFERENT
KIND OF STORY
WHEN BIG JIM HIT THE FLOOR
AW...

NOW THEY SING
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
HMMM...

YEAH, BIG JIM GOT HIS HAT
FIND OUT WHERE IT'S AT
IS NOT HUSTLIN'
PEOPLE STRANGE TO YOU

EVEN IF YOU DO
GOT A TWO-PIECE
CUSTOM MADE POOL CUE

YEAH, 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
HMMM... HMM...

HMMM... HMM...
HMMM... HMM...
HMMM... HMM...
