When You’re Hot, You’re Hot Songtext
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)
Well, now me and Homer Jones and Big John Talley
Had a big crap game goin′ back in the alley
