John Lee Supertaster (Bonus Live Version) - They Might Be Giants
When I was 39 years old,
I found out people walking among us
who have superpowers.
These people are called Supertasters.
To a Supertaster,
bitter fruits taste far more bitter,
and sweets far more sweet.
Then, just a few months ago,
I had the chance to meet a real,
live Supertaster named John Lee.
And this 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)
He is 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
Can＇t shut his mouth
(can＇t shut his mouth)
＇Cause he＇s a Supertaster
(Supertaster)
Though he looks like a man
(talks 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)
He is a Supertaster
John Lee Supertaster
Tastes more than we know
Everything has a flavor
Some flavors must go
Some flavors must go
