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 looks 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! (ah) 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 Go Go Go |
