[Em]
Uptown got its hustlers, Bowery got its bums, 42nd Street got Big Jim, a walker, he a bullshootin' son [E] of a gun
[A] Yeah, he's big and dumb as a man can come, but he's stronger than a country horse
together at night, you [B] know they all call [A] Big Jim boss, just [E] because
And [C#m] they say you [A] don't tug on [E] Superman's cape, [A] you don't speed into [E] the wind, you [A] don't pull a mask off that old old Ranger
Jim, but
-dee
South Alabama come a country boy, [E] said, looking for a man named Jim
Uptown got its hustlers, Bowery got its bums, 42nd Street got Big Jim, a walker, he a bullshootin' son [E] of a gun
