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!" |
