If you beg a date

She says, "You're too late"

Then later, she gives you a call

Don't hesitate, you're in for a break

'Cause Jack, she's on the ball



If she winks at you

Don't you miss that cue

For this is no time for a stall

Man, call a hack, and get to your shack

'Cause Jack, she's on the ball



No use in her denying

You don't have to do much trying

Just remember this, when she gives you her kiss

Her heart, and soul, are pining



So remember Gates

It's never too late

If ever she starts 'n to stall

Just bait your trap, she'll fall just like that

'Cause Jack, she's on the ball

No use in her denying

You don't have to do much trying

'Cause remember this, if she gives you her kiss

Her heart, and soul, are pining



So remember-gate

It's never too late

Whenever she starts 'n to stall

Just bait your trap, she'll fall just like that

'Cause Jack, she's on the ball

Mm, Jack, she's on the ball

(I'm tellin' you buddy)

Jack, she's on the ball

(Of course, if she's fine it's understood that)

Jack, she's on the ball
