[E]
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
Yeah [A] he's big and dumb as a man can come, but he's stronger than a country horse
And [B] when the bad folks all [A] get together at night, [B] you know they all call Big Jim boss, [Em] just because
[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
[B] Well [Em] out of South Alabama come a country boy, he said I'm looking for a man named Jim
I am a fool shootin' boy, my name is [A] Willie McCoy, but down at home they [G] call me Slim
[A] Yeah I'm looking for the king of 42nd Street, he's driving on a drop top Cadillac
Last week he took all my money and it may sound funny, but I've come to get my money back
And [E] everybody say Jack, [A] don't you know, don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the [Em] wind, you don't [A] pull the mask off old old [B] Ranger and you don't mess around with [E] Jim
Well [E] a hush fell over the pool room, that Jim had come boppin' in an awful streak
But [A] when the cutting was done, the only part that wasn't bloody was the soles of the big man's feet
Yeah he was cutting about a hundred places, and he was shot in a couple more
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
[A]
[Em] Yeah Big Jim got his hat, find out where [E] Zat is not hustling people strange to you, [D] even if you do got [C#m] a two-piece custom made [E] pool cape
You [G] [A] don't tug on [E] Superman's cape, [A] you don't spit into [E] the wind, you [A] don't pull the mask off old [Bm] old Ranger [B] and you don't mess around [E] with Slim
