Jim Croce
You Don't Mess Around With Jim
Written by - Jim Croce
From - You Don't Mess Around With Jim

Uptown got it's hustlers
The Bowery got it's bums
And forty-second street got big Jim Walker
He a pool shootin' son of a gun
Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come
But he 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
'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'

Well outta south Alabama come a country boy
He said, 'I'm lookin' for a man named Jim
I am a pool shootin' boy
My name is Willie McCoy
But down home they call me Slim
Yeah I'm looking for the king of Forty Second Street
He drivin' a drop top Cadillac
Last week he took all my money
And it may sound funny
But I come to get my money back'

Chorus:
And ev'rybody say 'Jack, don't you know that
You don't 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'

Well a hush fell over the pool room
Jimmy come boppin' in off the street
And when the cuttin' were done
The only part that wasn't bloody
Was the soles of the big man's feet
Yeah he were cut in 'bout a hundred places
And he were shot in a couple more
And you better believe
They sung a different kind of story
When big Jim hit the floor

Chorus

Now they say
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 Slim'

Yeah, big Jim got his hat
Find out where it's at
And not hustling people strange to you
Even if you do got a two piece custom made pool cue, yeah

Chorus

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 Slim

[sanantoniosooner]

Well the south side of chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named leroy brown

Now leroy more than trouble
You see he stand bout six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him treetop lover
All the mens just call him sir

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybodys nose
He got a custom continental
He got an eldorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well friday bout a week ago
Leroy shootin dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named doris
And ooh that girl looked nice
Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
And leroy brown learned a lesson
bout messin with the wife of a jealous man

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog,

Well the two men took to fightin
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

And its bad, bad leroy brown
The baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than old king kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

[proud gonzo]

no, one song's about Jim and one's about Leroy

[Frozen Sooner]

Whoops.

[SoonerInKCMO]

What radio station are you listening to that they play the crap outta Jim Croce? :confused: I haven't heard either of those songs in years.

[SoonerInKCMO]

Also, I'd submit that you don't know diddly about Leroy Brown gettin' played out... iffin you'd been around when the song was new like I was then you'd KNOW about Leroy Brown gettin' played. the. ****. out. ;)

[proud gonzo]

What radio station are you listening to that they play the crap outta Jim Croce? :confused: I haven't heard either of those songs in years.92.5, i think. every day.

[Oldnslo]

Next thing you know, someone will complain about Harry Chapin being overplayed.

[crawfish]

Change it up and listen to "Roller Derby Queen".

[royalfan5]

Next thing you know, someone will complain about Harry Chapin being overplayed.
or James Taylor

[proud gonzo]

James Taylor I like. Don't like Jim Croce. Don't think I like HArry Chapin much either. Actually, I don' tknow that i've heard more than one of his songs.

[proud gonzo]

If you want to yell at me about music I don't like that I ought to like, I also hate the Doors and Janis Joplin

[Ike]

better to hear "leroy" overplayed than to hear, oh, K-fed overplayed. Be careful what you ask for PG...you might just get it :P

[Ike]

If you want to yell at me about music I don't like that I ought to like, I also hate the Doors and Janis Joplin


negspek coming from me for not liking the doors....negspek coming from my wife for not liking Janis (I don't really like her either)

[crawfish]

James Taylor I like. Don't like Jim Croce. Don't think I like HArry Chapin much either. Actually, I don' tknow that i've heard more than one of his songs.

Geez, that's like hating America, you commie. :mad:

[Tear Down This Wall]

There's no way in hell this song is as overplayed as Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock And Roll." If I hear just one note of the opening piano, the radio is switched. What an f'n beating that song became.

[sanantoniosooner]

it soothes the soul dude.

it soothes the soul

[picasso]

James Taylor I like. Don't like Jim Croce. Don't think I like HArry Chapin much either. Actually, I don' tknow that i've heard more than one of his songs.
