Oh well now me and Homer and Big John Talley
|
Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
|
And I kept rollin' them sevens and winnin' all them pots
|
My luck was good I could do no wrong
|
I just kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
|
Fin'ly they just threw up their hands and said
|
When you're hot you're 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 when you're hot you're hot)
|
Well now ev'ry time I rolled 'em dice I'd win
|
And I would just get ready to roll 'em again
|
When I heard something behind me I turned around and there was a big ole cop
|
He said hello boy and he gave us a grin
|
Said looks like I'm gonna have to haul you all in
|
And keep all that money for evidence I said well son when you're hot you're hot
|
When you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not
|
You can 'splain it all down at city hall when you're hot you're hot
|
(La la la la la when you're hot you're hot)
|
Well when he took us into court I could believe my eyes
|
The judge was a fishin' buddy that I recognized
|
I said hey judge old buddy old pal I'll pay you
|
That hundred I owe you if you get me out of this spot
|
So he gave my friend a little fine to pay he turned around and grinned at me and said
|
Ninety days sweet thang when you're hot you're hot I said thanks a lot
|
When you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not
|
You let my friend go free and throw the book at me
|
He said well when you're hot you're hot
|
I said well I tell you one thing judge old buddy old pal
|
If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd pick you up by courthouse
|
And I'd try a little bit of you on my own you understand that
|
Do you hear me who's gonna collect my welfare take over my Cadillac
