the south side of
Chicago lived a guy named
Jack
Whose dream it was to
someday own a
Cadillac
He gambled for his money,
the first thing you know
A bop jack in a brand new
El
Dorado
It didn't matter, he had no place to stay
He slept in his car at night
and he drove all day
Hustlin' for a living,
he could really shoot pool
And didn't think it was
necessary to stay in school
A long white
Cadillac was his claim to fame
And every year he a new one
to keep up his name
What's the dude's name?
Cadillac
Jack
Sure was a man
Life was good to
Jack
And he thought he had it made
Till he started fooling around with
another fella's babe
Jack had a way with women and
he couldn't understand
Why this girl refused him to
stay with her man
Jack said now listen baby and
grabbed her by the arm
Cause he just had to show her how
good he could charm
With no word of warning
came a bust of light
As
Jack made his final mistake that night
Talkin' real loud, drawin' a crowd
You knew his name
really made him proud
Cat like
Jack, sure was a man
Now
Jack was a legend on our side of town
Too bad the girl's
boyfriend shot him down
A few days later,
Jack was flat on his back
Gettin' his last ride in a long,
long black, black
Cadillac
That was
Cadillac
Jacks, the show was a mack,
Cadillac
Jacks, the show was a mack,
Cadillac
Jacks, the show was a mack.
