Jack, You re Dead! lyrics

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!
