Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress (Live)

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

A pair of 45s 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 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

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'

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

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
