Song language: English
Jack, You're Dead! |
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! |
