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 DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song


A pair of 45's 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

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 then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run

Jumping under doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun


Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her,

Don't get scared
cause you're gonna be spared
Well I'm gonna be forgiven

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
