When I was 39 years old, I heard a story.
I found out that there are people walking among us who have super powers.
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
(When he tastes a pear)
It's like a hundred pears
(It's like a million pears)
He's got super powers
(Super powers)
He is a super taster
(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
