Lyrics

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"
 "O Judge!"
