up town's got its hustlers, Lowry's got its bum,
42nd street's got big Jim Walker, he's a fool shootin' in front of a gun,
[E]
[F] he's big and dumb as a man can come, but he's stronger than a country horse,
[G] and when the bad folks [F] all get together at night, [G] you know they all call big [F] Jim boss,
just [G] because, and they say [F] you don't tug on [C] Superman's cape,
[F] you don't spit [C] into the wind, [F] you don't pull the mask off the old old ranger,
[G] and you don't mess around [C] with Jim, do do do do do do do do do do [G] do do do do do do do
Well out [C] of South Alabama come a country [Cm] boy, [C] said I'm lookin' for a man named Jim,
I am a fool shootin' boy, my name is Willie McCoy, but around home they call me Slim,
[E] [F] yeah I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd street, drivin' a drop top Cadillac,
last [G] week he took all my money, [F] and it may sound funny, [G] but I'm comin' to get my [F] money back,
and [C] everybody say Jack, don't you know, that you [A] don't tug on [C] Superman's cape,

Well a hush fell over [C] the pool room, and she may come boppin' in off [Gm] the street,
[Eb]
[Am] and when the cuttin' was [C] done, the only part that wasn't bloody was the soles of the big man's feet,
[Cm]
[F] Yeah, he was cut in about a hundred places, and he was shot in a couple more.
[G] And you better believe they [F] sung a different kind of story [G] when Big Jim hit [F] the floor.
Ah, [C] ha, ha, ha.
[D] Now they say [A] you don't tug on [C] Superman's cape, [G] you don't skate into [C] the wind,
[F] you don't pull the mask of the Long Ranger [C] and you [D] don't mess around [C] with his hand.
[F] You don't [Cm] tug on Superman's [D] cape, you [F] don't skate into the wind,
you don't pull the mask of the Long Ranger and you don't mess around [Cm] with his hand.
[F] You don't pull the mask of the Long Ranger, you don't [D] mess around with [C] his hand.
