(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!)
He loves ice cream and pie. (Ice cream and pie!)
He is a Supertaster!

John Lee Supertaster
Takes more than we know.
Everything has a flavor,
Some flavors must go.
