Lyrics Jerry Reed – When You’re Hot, You’re Hot

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 and winnin’ all them pots
My luck was so good I could do no wrong

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 ’em 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 la la
When you’re hot you’re hot)

Well when he took us into court I couldn’t believe my eyes

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
