When You're Hot, You're Hot

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 youre hot , youre hot
And when youre not, youre not
Put all the money in and lets roll em again
When youre hot, youre hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when youre hot, youre hot)
Well, now every time I rolled them dice Id 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 Im 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 youre hot, youre hot
And when youre not, youre not
You can splain it all down at City Hall
I say, yeah, when youre hot, youre hot
Youre hot
(La la la la la la la) (La la la la la)
(La la la la la la la, when youre hot, youre hot)
Well, when he took us inta court I couldnt believe my eyes
The judge was a fishin buddy that I recognized
I said 'Hey, judge, old buddy, old pal'
'Ill pay ya that hundred I owe ya if youll 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 youre hot, youre hot
And when youre not, youre not
He let my friends go free and throwed the book at me
He said 'Well, when youre hot, youre hot'
I said, 'Well Ill tell ya one thing judge, old buddy, old pal
If you wasnt wearin that black robe Id take out in back of this courthouse
And Id try a little bit of your honor on
You understand that, you hillbilly?
Who gonna collect my welfare?'
(When youre hot, youre hot)
'Pay for my Cadillac?
Whadda you mean contempt of court?'
(When youre hot, youre hot)
'Judge '
'O Judge!'
