B.B. King - Jack, You're Dead! Lyrics
When youve got no more assuranceThan a great big hunk of leadIf you dont respond to romanceJack, youre dead!When a chick is smiling at youEven though theres nothing saidIf you stand there like a statueJack, youre dead!Youve been always kickingBut you stubbed your toesWhen you ups and kicks the bucketJust like old man moseWhen you get no kicks from lovingAnd you blow your top insteadIts a fact that you aint livingJack, youre dead!If you just aint got nobodySince youve gone and lost your headRigor mortis has set in daddyJack, youre dead!Whats the use of having musclesWhen your life hangs by a threadIf you aint got no red corpusclesJack, youre dead!Youve been always kickingBut you stubbed your toesWhen you ups and kicks the bucketJust like old man moseWhen you get no kicks from lovingAnd the news begins to spreadAll the cats will holler, murder!Jack, youre dead!All the breaths leaked out of youWhen your friends gather round the bedAnd look at you and say, um, um, um, dont he look naturalWhen that happens to you, daddyJack, youre dead!
