| 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! |
