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' them sevens
Ha ha
Winnin' all them pots
My luck was so good
I could do no wrong
I just kept on rollin' and
controllin' them bones
Fin'lly they just 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 ole cop
He said hello boy
Then he gave us a grin
Said looks like I'm gonna
have to haul you 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 'splain 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 you
If you get me out of 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'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
You 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 tell you
one thing judge
Old buddy old pal
If you wasn't wearin' that
black robe
I'd take you out back of
this courthouse
And I'd try a little bit of you
on my own
You understand that
You hillbilly
Who's gonna collect
my welfare
Pay for my Cadillac
Whadda ya mean
Contempt of court
Judge
Oh judge
