Louis Jordan - Jack, You're Dead lyrics

When you got no more a**urance Than a great big hunk o' lead If you don't respond to romance Jack, you're dead When a chick is smilin' at you Even though there's nothin' said You stand there like a statue Jack, you're dead 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' Jack, you're dead When 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 havin' muscles If your life hangs by a thread If you ain't got no red corpuscles Jack, you're dead 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 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
