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
