Chet Atkins - When You're Hot, You're Hot lyrics

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, winnin' all them pots My luck was so good, I could do no wrong I just kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones And 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 an' 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, when you're hot, you're hot 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", and then he gave us a grin an' said "Look like I'm gonna hafta haul you all in An' 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 la la, when you're hot, you're hot Well, when he took us in to 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 ya that hundred I owe ya, if you'll get me outta this spot" So he gave my friends a little fine to pay He turned around an' grinned at me an' said "Ninety days, Jerry, when you hot, you hot" An' 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 ya one thing, judge, old buddy, old pal If you wasn't wearin' that black robe I'd take out in back of this courthouse And I'd try a little bit of your honor on" "You understand that, you hillbilly? Who gonna collect my welfare? Pay for my Cadillac? Whadda you mean 'Contempt of Court'? Judge, oh, judge, judgie poo"
