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"
