Jack, You're Dead!
When you got no more assurance
Than a great big hunk of lead
If you don't respond to romance
When a chick is smilin' at you
Even though there's nothin' said
You stand there like a statue
You been always kickin'
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like ole man, Mose
When you get no kicks from lovin'
And you blow your top instead
It's a fact that you ain't livin'
When you just ain't got nobody
Since you gone and lost your head
Rigor mortise has set in, daddy
What's the use of havin' muscles
If your life hangs by a thread
If you ain't got no red corpuscles
You been always kickin'
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like ole man, Mose
When you get no kicks from lovin'
And the news begin to spread
All the cats will holler, "Murder"
All the breath has leaked out of you
If your friends gather round the bed
And look at you and say, "Don't he look natural?"
When that happens to you, daddy
Than a great big hunk of lead
If you don't respond to romance
When a chick is smilin' at you
Even though there's nothin' said
You stand there like a statue
You been always kickin'
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like ole man, Mose
When you get no kicks from lovin'
And you blow your top instead
It's a fact that you ain't livin'
When you just ain't got nobody
Since you gone and lost your head
Rigor mortise has set in, daddy
What's the use of havin' muscles
If your life hangs by a thread
If you ain't got no red corpuscles
You been always kickin'
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like ole man, Mose
When you get no kicks from lovin'
And the news begin to spread
All the cats will holler, "Murder"
All the breath has leaked out of you
If your friends gather round the bed
And look at you and say, "Don't he look natural?"
When that happens to you, daddy
