(Jim Croce)

Uptown Got Its Hustlers, the Bow'ry Got Its Bums

Forty Second Street Got Big Jim Walker

He's A Pool Shootin' Son Of A Gun

Yeah He's Big & Dumb As A Man Can Come

But He's 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

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 Out Of South Alabama Came A Country Boy

He Said "I'm Looking For A Man Named Jim

I'm A Pool Shhotin' 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's Drivin' A Drop Top Cadillac

Last Week He Took All My Money & It May Sound Funny

But I've Come To Get My Money Back"

And Everybody Say "Jack

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 A Hush Fell Over The Room

Jimmy Came Boppin' In Off The Street

And When The Cuttin Was 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 Diff'rent Kind Of Story

When Big Jim Hit The Floor. Oh Now They Say

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

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 Slim"

Yeah, Big Jim Got His Hat, Find Out Where It's At

And Not Hustling People Strange To You

Even If You Do Got A Two-Piece Custom Made Pool Cue
