Reed, Jerry - When You're Hot, You're Hot Lyrics






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
I just kept on rollin' and controllin' them bones
Fin'lly 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 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
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 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
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

  70. K.... C....

    I recall Jerry Reed when we used to listen to him on the radio and TV. He was in Smokey and the Bandit and Hot Stuff, sometimes on TV for a live performance. I liked to listen to his tunes. I want him to be rembered in media history for his hard effort as my family was enganged in for theirs. God bless the farmers for they are they are the chosen ones.

  71. J.... B....

    If you're listening in 2019, give me a Hell Yeah

    J.... B....

    HELL YEAH!!!!!

  72. J.... P....

    SON!👍🇺🇸

  73. R.... W....

    Listen to it sped up at 2X, it's hilarious!

  74. S.... A....

    First listen in 2019?

    S.... A....

    Nope. I remember this song from way back in the 70's.

    S.... A....

    Me and Homer Jones since the 70s

    S.... A....

    this was early seventies, and I first heard this as part of a skit by big Chuck and Little John and loved the song and liked Jerry's style. And he and Burt Reynolds were awesome in Smokey and the bandit. It's sad he passed so young.

  75. B.... ....

    I turned around and there was a big ole C O P

  76. B.... B....

    Who's listening in 2019?

    B.... B....

    @Robert Conrad me

    B.... B....

    Jerry Reed is always worth a listen, no matter the decade. I grew up on his music in the 70s and never quit listening.

    B.... B....

    Why do people always ask if we're still listening? Of course we are you don't think the song just goes away to you?

  77. J.... P....

    "SON"!!!!!!

  78. S.... V....

    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

  79. T.... G....

    Jerry must've had some black friends lol

  80. t.... ....

    heard this first on the WRE Wooomera n the yanks radio, thought it great, never heard it in the UK until a summing of his music on his death...great bloke, great song...

  81. d.... ....

    when your hot your hot...I said thanks a lot

  82. J.... S....

    I heard that Jerry Reed was in the Air Force with Bob Ross...man that had to be awesome.

  83. B.... R....

    Childhood memories from the summer of 1971 6 yrs old..WOW many moons ago....now at 53 years old getting old how time flies.

  84. G.... T....

    Another great by song by Jerry.

  85. M.... L....

    I thought that this song came out in 1962.

  86. M.... B....

    So a song The Stray Cats and The Rock-Afire Explosion should get in on. Like if u agree.

  87. s.... ....

    Rap song..

  88. B.... D....

    Who are the 280 losers who downvoted this iconic classic? 😂
