Jack, You're Dead! - B.B. King
When you 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 smilin' at you
Even though there's nothin' said
If 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
If you just ain't got nobody
Since you gone and lost your head
Rigor mortise has set in, daddy
Jack, you're dead
What's the use of havin' muscles
When 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 begin to spread
All the cats will holler, Murder
Jack, you're dead
All the breath has 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
