Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

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 doin' wrong

Just about to call up the DA man

When I heard this woman sing a song

[Pre-Chorus]

A pair of 45s made me open my eyes

My temperature started to rise

[Chorus]

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

[Instrumental Interlude]

Woo!

[Verse 2]

I saw her heading to the table

Well, a tall walking big black cat

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

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

Well, suddenly, we heard the sirens

And everybody started to run

A-jumpin' out of doors and tables

When I heard somebody shootin' a gun

[Pre-Chorus]

Well, the DA was pumping 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'

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Had it all

Had it all

Had it all

Had it all

Had it all

Ooh

Had it all

Ah, she had it all

Yeah
