When You're Hot You're Hot Lyrics - Nat Stuckey

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
