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!    these lyrics are submitted by burkul
