John Lee Supertaster Lyrics - They Might Be Giants

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 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
