Uptown got its hustlers, Bowery got its bums, 42nd Street got Big [A] Jim, a walker, he's a fool shootin' son of [E] a gun
and dumb as a man can come, but he's stronger than a country horse

[A] They say you don't tug on Superman's head, you don't spit into [E] the wind, you [A] don't pull the mask off old old Ranger [B] and you don't mess around [E] with Jim
[Em] out of South Alabama come a country boy, he said I'm looking for a man named Jim
Slim
Last week he took all my money and it may sound funny, but I've come to get my money back

And [B] you better believe, [A] it's all a different kind of story [B] when Big Jim hit [A] the floor
And [F#] _ [C#m] they say, don't tug [E] on Superman's cape, you [A] don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off old old Ranger [B] and you don't mess around with Slim
