TITLE: You Don’t Mess Around With Jim
Lyrics and Chords
Uptown got its hustlers
Bowery got its bums
And 42nd street got big Jim Walker
He’s a pool shootin’ son of a gun
Ya, he’s big and dumb as a man can come
But 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
/ G7 - / / / / C7 - / / D7 C7 / D7 C7 GC G /
{Refrain}
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, da do da do…
One other Boss…
