Long Cool Woman (In a Black 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 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
