| When you’ve got no more assurance
|
| Than a great big hunk of lead
|
| If you don’t respond to romance
|
| Jack, you’re dead!
|
| When a chick is smiling at you
|
| Even though there’s nothing said
|
| If you stand there like a statue
|
| Jack, you’re dead!
|
| You’ve been always kicking
|
| But you stubbed your toes
|
| When you ups and kicks the bucket
|
| Just like old man Mose
|
| When you get no kicks from loving
|
| And you blow your top instead
|
| It’s a fact that you ain’t living
|
| Jack, you’re dead!
|
| If you just ain’t got nobody
|
| Since you’ve gone and lost your head
|
| Rigor Mortis has set in daddy
|
| Jack, you’re dead!
|
| What’s the use of having muscles
|
| When your life hangs by a thread
|
| If you ain’t got no red corpuscles
|
| Jack, you’re dead!
|
| You’ve been always kicking
|
| But you stubbed your toes
|
| When you ups and kicks the bucket
|
| Just like old man Mose
|
| When you get no kicks from loving
|
| And the news begins to spread
|
| All the cats will holler, «Murder!»
|
| Jack, you’re dead!
|
| All the breaths leaked out of you
|
| When your friends gather round the bed
|
| And look at you and say, «Um, um, um, don’t he look natural»
|
| When that happens to you, daddy
|
| Jack, you’re dead! |
