When You're Hot, You're Hot

Lyrics

Son
 Well, now me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
 Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley
 And I kept rollin' 'em sevens, and winnin' all 'em pots
 My luck was so good, I could do no wrong
 I just kept on rollin' and controllin' 'em bones
 Finally they jest 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-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," then he gave us a grin and said
 "Look like I'm gon' have to haul y'all in
 And keep all that money for evidence"
 I said, "Well, son, when you're hot, you're hot," he said, "Yeah!"
 When you're hot, you're hot
 And when you're not, you're not
 You can explain it all down at City Hall
 I said, "Yeah, when you're hot, you're hot
 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 into 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 you 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
 "90 days, Jerry, when you're hot, you're hot"
 And 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 (when you're hot, you're hot)
 I'd take you out in back of this courthouse
 And I'd try a little bit of your honor on (when you're hot, you're hot)
 You understand that, you hillbilly?
 Who's gonna collect my welfare? (When you're hot, you're hot)
 Pay for my Cadillac?
 What do you mean Contempt of Court? (when you're hot, you're hot)
 Judge, oh, Judge!" (When you're hot, you're hot)
