When You're Hot You're Hot

Oh well now me and Homer and Big John Talley

Had a big crap game goin' back in the alley

And I kept rollin' them sevens and winnin' all them pots

My luck was good I could do no wrong

I just kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones

Fin'ly 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 when you're hot you're hot)

Well now ev'ry time I rolled 'em dice I'd win

And I would just get ready to roll 'em again

When I heard something behind me I turned around and there was a big ole cop

He said hello boy and 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

When you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not

You can 'splain it all down at city hall when you're hot you're hot

(La la la la la when you're hot you're hot)

Well when he took us into court I could 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 friend a little fine to pay he turned around and grinned at me and said

Ninety days sweet thang when you're hot you're hot I said thanks a lot

When you're hot you're hot and when you're not you're not

You let my friend go free and throw 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 pick you up by courthouse

And I'd try a little bit of you on my own you understand that

Do you hear me who's gonna collect my welfare take over my Cadillac
