(clarke / cook / greenaway)
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the fbi

Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high


Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the da man

When I heard this woman singing 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 59, beautiful tall

With just one look I was a bad mess
cos that long cool woman had it all


I saw her headin to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
When charlie said I hope that youre able boy

Well Im telling you she knows where its at
Well suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run

A jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun


Well the da was pumping my left hand
And then she was a-holding my right
Well I told her dont get scared

cos youre gonna be spared
Well Ive gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living

With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 59 beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess

cos that long cool woman had it all

Had it all
