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 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature's starting to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9, beautiful, tall
Just one look, I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall, walking, big black cat
Charlie said "I hope that you're able boy"
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Suddenly we hear the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping on the doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the D.A was pumping my left hand
And she was a-holdin' my right
Well I told her "don't be scared, 'cause you're gonna be spared"
I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living
With 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
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
