A song about a dirty woman

AC/DC is rock’n roll.

Velen denken spontaan aan hard rock, terwijl de band zelf steevast over rock’n roll spreekt. En terecht. Hun muziek kan bijna niet dichter bij de roots van rock’n roll aanleunen: playin’ the blues!

Een van hun meest bluesy nummers is dan ook het – zoals de meeste van hun teksten trouwens – dubbelzinnige The Jack.

The Jack is nog extra dubbelzinnig, met zijn twee verschillende versies, twee verschillende lyrics. Waar de ene nog wat dubbelzinnig is, is de andere recht toe recht aan.

She gave me the Queen
She gave me the King
She was wheelin’ and dealin’
Just doin’ her thing
She was holdin’ a pair
But I had to try
Her Deuce was wild
But my Ace was high
But how was I to know
That she’d been dealt with before
Said she’d never had a Full House
But I should have known
From the tattoo on her left leg
And the garter on her right
She’d have the card to bring me down
If she played it right

She’s got the jack, she’s got the jack
She’s got the jack, she’s got the jack
She’s got the jack, she’s got the jack
She’s got the jack, she’s got the jack
She’s got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She’s got the jack

Poker face was her name
Poker face was her nature
Poker straight was her game
If she knew she could get you
She played ’em fast
And she played ’em hard
She could close her eyes
And feel every card
But how was I to know
That she’d been shuffled before
Said she’d never had a Royal Flush
But I should have known
That all the cards were comin’
From the bottom of the pack
And if I’d known what she was dealin’ out
I’d have dealt it back

She’s got the jack, she’s got the jack
She’s got the jack, and who knows what else?
She’s got the jack, yeah, yeah
She’s got the jack, she’s got the jack
She’s got the jack, she’s got the jack
She’s got the jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack, jack
She’s got the jack

Oooooh!
Thank you, thank you, thank you people, thank you, thank you
I’m glad you like the show, yes, thank you very much folks.
Goodnight and God bless!

She gave me her mind
Then she gave me her body
But it seems to me
That she gave it to anybody
But I made her cry
And I made her scream (scream for me)
[Audience screams]
I took her high
And I curdled her cream
But how was I to know that she had been there before
She told me she was a virgin
She was number nine, ninety-nine on the clinical list
And I fell in love with the dirty little bitch

She’s got the Jack
(I hate to tell you this darling)

I searched her mind
And then I searched her body
…But so did everybody
But she gave me her heart
And she gave me her soul
And a great, big – warn out
Empty hole
But how was I to know it had been filled in before
She said, “Bon, I’ve never had the urgency”
She was number nine, ninety-nine on the critical list
And I fell in love with the dirty little bitch

She’s got the Jack
(I’ll kill her)
(Oh and it hurts)

You know, I woke up one morning, and there it was on the sheets -the clap
Now I know you all call it the clap over here so what I’m gonnado
I’m gonna say “She’s got the –“, and I want you all to shoutout
Just what it is she’s got, in this case it’s the clap
And if you wanna know who gave it to her, don’t look at me

She’s got the …
(I wanna hear your voices)
She’s got the … clap
She’s got the … clap
She’s got the … clap
(That guy down there, whatta you doing?)
She’s got the … clap
(Yeah, you show me)
She’s got the … clap
She’s got the … clap
(She got that too, ha?)
She’s got the … clap

(I think what she needs … is an Angus Young penicilian)

Alright

She’s got the Jack
Oh yes she has
