Lyrics:John Lee Supertaster (The Spine Hits The Road)

When I was 39 years old, I found out that there were people among us who have superpowers, and these people are known as Supertasters! To a Supertaster, bitter foods taste far more bitter, and sweets taste far, far more sweet. Then, about a year ago, I met a real, live Supertaster named John Lee. And this, ladies and gentlemen of San Francisco, 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)
Explodes and explodes

John Lee Supertaster
Tastes more than we do
Everything has a flavor
Some flavors are too much

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)
Loves 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
