They Might Be Giants - John Lee Supertaster Lyrics
Flans: When I was 39 years old, I heard a story. I found out that there [are] 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 explodesJohn Lee SupertasterTastes more than we doEverything has a flavorSome flavors are too muchCan'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 SupertasterJohn Lee SupertasterTastes more than we knowEverything has a flavorSome flavors must go
