Well, now me and Homer Jones and Big Talley Had a big crap goin' back in the alley And I kept rollin' them sevens, winnin' all pots
My luck was so good, I could do no I just kept on rollin' and them bones And finally just threw up their hands and said "When you hot, you hot", I said, "Yeah"
you're hot, you're hot And when you're not, not Put all the money in an' let's roll 'em When 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, hot
Well, now time I rolled them dice I'd win And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em When I heard somethin' me I turned and there was a big old cop
He said "Hello, boys", and then he gave us a grin an' "Look I'm gonna hafta haul you all in An' keep all money for evidence" I said, "Well, son you hot, you hot", he said, "Yeah"

Well, when he took us in to court, I believe my eyes The judge was a fishin' that I recognized I said, "Hey, judge, old buddy, old pal I'll pay ya hundred I owe ya, if you'll get me outta this spot"
So he gave my a little fine to pay He turned an' grinned at me an' said "Ninety days, Jerry, you hot, you hot" An' I said, "Thanks a lot"
When hot, you're hot And you're not, you're not He let my go free and throwed the book at me He said, "Well, when hot, you're hot"
I said, "Well, tell ya one thing, judge, old buddy, old pal If you wasn't wearin' black robe I'd take out in back of this And I'd try a bit of your honor on"
"You that, you hillbilly? Who gonna my welfare? Pay for my Whadda you 'Contempt of Court'? Judge, oh, judge, poo"
