Uptown got its hustlers;
42nd Street got Big Jim Walker,
Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come,
And when the bad folks all get together at night,
just because.
'You don't tug on Superman's cape.'
'You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger,'
Well, outta south Alabama come a country boy.
'I am a pool-shootin' boy.'
'but down a-home'
'Hey, I'm lookin' for the king of 42nd Street.'
'Last week he took all my money,'
'but I come to get my money back.'
'You don't tug on Superman's cape?'
'You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger,'
Well, a hush fell over the pool room.
And when the cuttin' were done, the only part that wasn't bloody
Yeah, he were cut in 'bout a hundred places.
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story
'You don't tug on Superman's cape.'
'You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger,'
Yeah, Big Jim got his hat.
It's not hustlin' people strange to you —
'You don't tug on Superman's cape.'
'You don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger,'
