Jack, You're Dead

Jack, You're Dead - Joe Morris/Jesse 'Po' Simpkins/Carl Hogan/Wild Bill Davis/James Wright/Aaron Izenhall/Louis Jordan

When you got no more assurance

Than a great big hunk 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

You stand there like a statue

Jack you're dead

You been always kicking

But you stubbed your toes

When you ups and kicks the bucket

Just like ole man Moseg

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 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 been always kicking

But you stubbed your toes

When you ups and kicks the bucket

Just like ole 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 breath has leaked out of you

If your friends gather round the bed

And look at you and say "Mm mm don't he look natural "

When that happens to you daddy Jack you're dead
