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"
