When you got no more assurance 
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
