Long Cool Woman (In a Back Dress)

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 singing 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

Woo!

I saw her head up to the table

With a tall walking big black cat

Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy

'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at"

When suddenly we heard the sirens

And everybody started to run

I jumped down and across the table

When I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well, the DA was pumping my left hand

And then she was a-holding my right

Well, I told her "Don't get scared

'Cause you're gonna be spared"

Well 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 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, had it all
