"Jack the Ripper" is a song by The White Stripes. It has not been released on any album or single, and it currently can only be heard live. It is usually performed after "Astro" in concert. The song is not an original - it is actually a cover of a song by Screaming Lord Sutch, the shock rock artist who was known for dressing like Jack the Ripper in his often horror-themed concerts.
Jack White, during the Get Behind Me Satan era, was known for wearing a Jack the Ripper costume similar to Screaming Lord Sutch, while Meg wore large cabaret dresses, in concerts and photos.
