Well me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin` back in the alley
And I kept rollin` them sevens , winnin` all them pots
My luck was so good I could do no wrong
I jest kept on rollin` and controllin` them bones
And finally they jest threw up their hands and said
When you hot, you hot
I said Yeah?
When you`re hot, you`re hot
And when you`re not, you`re not
Put all the money in and let`s roll `em again
When you`re hot, you`re hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you`re hot, you`re hot)
Well, now every time I rolled them dice I`d win
And I was just gettin` ready to roll `em again
When I heard somethin` behind me
I turned around and there was a big old cop
He said Hello, boys and then he gave us a grin `n` said
Look like I`m gonna hafta haul you all in
And keep all that money for evidence
I said, Well, son when you hot, you hot
He said Yeah
When you`re hot, you`re hot
And when you`re not, you`re not
You can `splain it all down at City Hall
I say, yeah, when you`re hot, you`re hot
You`re hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when you`re hot, you`re hot)
Well, when he took us inta court I couldn`t believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin` buddy that I recognized
I said Hey, judge, old buddy, old pal
I`ll pay ya that hundred I owe ya if you`ll get me outta this spot
So he gave my friends a little fine to pay
He turned around and grinned at me and said
Ninety days, Jerry, when you hot, you hot
`n` I said Thanks a lot
When you`re hot, you`re hot
And when you`re not, you`re not
He let my friends go free and throwed the book at me
He said Well, when you`re hot, you`re hot
I said well I`ll tell ya one thing judge, old buddy, old pal
If you wasn`t wearin` that black robe I`d take out in back of this courthouse
>>>>And I`d try a little bit of your honor on
You understand that, you hillbilly?
Who gonna collect my welfare?
(When you`re hot, you`re hot)
Pay for my Cadillac?
Whadda you mean `contempt of court`?
(When you`re hot, you`re hot)
Judge
