Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)

Saturday night I was downtown, working for the FBI

Sitting on a nest of Batman, whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging booze on the west side, full of people who are doing wrong

Just about to call up the D.A. man When I heard this woman singin' a song

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise

She was a long, cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall

With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long, cool woman had it all

I saw her headin' to the table With a tall-walkin' big, black cat

Well, Charlie said, "I hope that you're able, boy 'Cause I'm tellin' you she knows where it's at"

Well suddenly we heard the sirens, and everybody started to run

Jumping under doors and tables, well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand, she was holding my right

Well I told her don't get scared cause you're gonna be spared

I gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my livin' with a long, cool woman in a black dress

Just a five-nine, beautiful tall

Well, it's just one look, I was a bad mess

'Cause that long, cool woman had it all

Had it all

Had it all

Had it all

Had it all

Had it all

Had it all
