Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) - 2003 Remaster

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 D.A. man
 When I heard this woman singing a song
 A pair of forty fives 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 'n' tall
 Just one look I was a bad mess
 'Cos that long cool woman had it all
 ♪
 Woo!
 ♪
 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 D.A. was pumping my left hand
 And a-she was a-holding my right
 Well, I told her, don't get scared
 'Cos you're gonna be spared
 I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my living
 With a long cool woman in a black dress
 Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall
 Well with just one look I was a bad mess
 'Cos 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 (she had it all)
