When I was 39 years old, I found out that there were people among us who have superpowers. These people are known as Supertasters. To a Supertaster, bitter foods taste far more bitter, and sweets taste far, far, far, far, far, far more sweet. Far more sweet. Then, about a year ago, I met a real, live Supertaster named John Lee. And this, ladies and gentlemen of the Blue Note, is his true story: Nothing tastes the same (nothing tastes the same) To a Supertaster (Supertaster) When he tastes a pear (tastes a pear) It's like a hundred pears (it's like a million pears) He's got superpowers (superpowers) 'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster) Every flavor explodes (explodes and explodes) Explodes and explodes John Lee Supertaster Tastes more than we do Everything has a flavor Some flavors are too much Dan Miller, guitar. Spotlight on the electric guitar. Can't shut his mouth (can't shut his mouth) 'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster) Though he walks like a man (walks like a man) He is a Supertaster (Supertaster) Can't drink coffee or beer (coffee or beer) 'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster) He likes ice cream and pie (ice cream and pie) 'Cause he's a Supertaster John Lee Supertaster Tastes more than we know Everything has a flavor Some flavors must go Some flavors must go Some flavors must go Go Go Go |
