saturday night i was downtown
working for the fbi
sittin’ 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 sing 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
justa 5’9 beautiful tall
with just one look i was a bad mess
’cause that long cool woman had it all
interlude
i saw her heading to the table
like a tall walking big black cat
when charlie said i hope that you’re able boy
cause i’m telling you she knows where it’s at
then suddenly we heard the sirens
and everybody started to run
ajumping out of doors and tables
when i heard somebody shootin’ a gun
well the da was pumping my left hand
and ashe was aholding my right
well i told her don’t get scared
’cause you’re gonna be spared
i’ve gotta be forgivin’ if i wanna spend my living
with a long cool woman in a black dress
just a 5’9 beautiful tall
yeah with just one look i was a bad mess
cause that long cool woman had it all
had it all
had it all
