Transcript
For assurance than a great big hunk of lads If you don't respond to romance, Jack you dead When a chick is smiling at you, even though there's nothing said If you stand there like a statue, Jack you dead You've been always kicking, but you stubbed your toes When you up some kicks to bucket, just like old man molds.
When you get no kicks from loving, and you blow your top instead, it's a fact that you ain't living. Jack, you dead. I say ain't got nobody, since you gone and lost your head. Rigor models are set in daddy.
Jack, you dead. What's the use of having muscles when your life hangs by thread? by thread. If you ain't got no red car puzzles, Jack you dead. But you stubbed your toes, kicks to bucket, just like old man mose. When you get no kicks from loving and the news begin to spread, all the cats will holler, what a! Jack you dead. All the breath is leaked
out of you. When your friends gather round to bed and look at you and say, don't he look not you. When that happens to you daddy, Jack you dead.
That was the 60-second preview
