I'll tell you a story.
[G] About 11 years ago, about 11 years ago, [G#] I was working a show [A] called
the Glen Campbell Good Time Hour.
[F#] No, it's about 12, [A] 13 years ago now.
[Bm] And [D#] during that
period of [B] time, I wrote a song.
[A]
And I want to [D#] sing this [N] song for you.
It's a song that's
a very tender story.
[F#] I was doing the, I was doing the Campbell show and I was kind of
nervous.
[G]
And [G#m] I screwed up a song one night and I left out the title and in place of the
title I said, when you're hot, [N] you're hot.
Well, the crowd, [G#m] the crowd [B] reacted to that,
you see.
So I went home and I wrote this [N] song and when I recorded it, I had some girls
who sang background voices with me.
[A#] So in order to make this sound like the [G] record,
I have to have [B] the girls singers and I have them with me this evening.
[C] I would like for
you to meet the Thompson [F#] Station Congregation Girls Choir, consisting of the following ladies.
We have Roberta here on rhythm guitar.
And Rosemary over here on the [A] other guitar.
And we have Chloe [F#] back here on bass.
[B] And is that all the girls singers now?
[G#m] Oh, Prudence, Prudence over here on piano.
Yes.
[B] And we're, me and my girls are [N] going to get together and sing you a little song
called When You Hot You Sweat.
And it goes like this, boy.
Yes, sir.
[G#] Look out, here they come.
[F#] [G#] [D] [A] Now folks, me and Homer Jones and Big [A] John Talley had a big [F#] crap game going back in the alley.
[E] And I kept rolling them [A] sevens and winning all them pots.
Now my luck was [D] so good, I
could do no [A] wrong.
I just kept on [F#] rolling, controlling them [B] bones.
[E] Finally they just
looked [A] ahead and said, brother, when you hot, you hot.
Yes.
When you [F#] hot, you hot.
When you [A] not, you not.
Well, put all the money [F#] in and let's roll them [B] again.
[E] When you hot, you hot.
Sing it, ladies.
[F#] [A] Wonderful.
[F#] [B] [E] [A]
Girls, ain't nothing like them, is there?
[B] You believe the ugly [A] ladies can't get enough of them?
Every time I [D] rolled them bones, I'd [A] win and I would just right [G#] back on and roll them again.
[B]
When I heard [E] something behind me, [C#m] I turned around and it was a big old cop.
He said, hello, boy.
[D] Let me give us a grin.
[A] Said, look like [F#] I'm about to haul you all [B] in and keep all that [E] money for ever.
I said, [A] well, brother, when you hot, you hot.
Yes.
When you hot, [F#] you hot.
When you [C#m] not, you not.
He said, [A] boys, you've squinted all [F#] down the city, [B] haul out.
[E] When you hot, you hot.
Go, [A] ladies.
[F#] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[A] Na, na,
[F#] na, na, na.
[C#] Na, na, na.
[E] Well, [A] when they took us in the [D] court, I couldn't believe my [A] eyes.
The judge was an old [F#] fishing buddy I recognized.
[B]
I said, [E] hey, judge, old buddy, [A] pay you that $100 if [E] you get down to this spot.
[A]
So he gave my [D] friends a little fine to [A] pay and he turned around and [F#] grinned at me.
[B]
And then [E] he said, 90 [Am] days, Jerry.
[A] Sing, when you hot, you hot.
When you [F#] hot, you hot.
When you [B] not, you not.
[A] I said, hey, judge, you let my friends [F#] go free and throw the book at [B] me.
[E] He said, well, when you hot, you [A] hot.
I [F#] said, hey, [B] you want to know what hot is?
[A] Hot is me taking you [F#] out behind this [B] courthouse [D] and beating you like a [A] government mule.
[F#] I said, [C#] who's going to collect my welfare?
[D] [A] When you hot, you hot.
