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)
