Karaoké When You're Hot, You're Hot Jerry Reed

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 heh heh

Winnin' all them pots

My luck was so good

I could do no wrong

I just kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones

Finally they just 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

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 gonna have to 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"

La la la la la

La la la la la

La la la la la

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 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'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 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 your honor on"

"You understand that you hillbilly?

Who gon' collect my welfare?"

"Pay for my Cadillac?"

What do you mean

"contempt of court?"

Judge

Oh judge
