Lyrics

When I was 39 years old, I heard a story
I found out that there're 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
