Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)

Lyrics

Saturday night, I was downtown
 Working for the FBI
 Sitting in a nest of bad men
 Whiskey bottles piling high
 Bootlegging boozer on the west side
 Full of people who are doing wrong
 Just about to call up the DA man
 When I heard this woman singin' a song
 A pair of 45s made me open my eyes
 My temperature started to rise
 She was a long cool woman in a black dress
 'Bout a 5'9", beautiful, tall
 With just one look I was a bad mess
 'Cause that long cool woman had it all
 ♪
 Whoo!
 I saw her heading to the table
 Well, a tall walking big black cat
 When Charlie said, "I hope that you're able, boy
 Well, I'm telling you she knows where it's at"
 Well, suddenly we hear the sirens
 And everybody started to run
 A-jumping under doors and tables
 Well, I heard somebody shootin' a gun
 Well, the DA was pumpin' my left hand
 And a-she was a-holding my right
 Well, I told her, "Don't get scared 'cause you're gonna be spared"
 I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my livin'
 With a long cool woman in a black dress
 Just a 5'9", beautiful, tall
 Well, with 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, mmm
 Had it all
 Ah, she had it all
 Yeah, she had it all
