Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)

[Verse 1]
Saturday night, I was downtown
Workin' for the FBI
Sittin' in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles pilin' high
Bootleggin' boozer on the west side
Full of people doin' wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singin' a song

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, a pair of 45's made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I saw her headin' to the table
With a tall walkin' big black cat
Charlie said, "I hope you're able, boy
I'm tellin' you she knows where it's at"
Then suddenly we heard a siren
Everybody started to run
A-jumpin' out of doors and tables
Well, I heard somebody shootin' a gun

[Pre-Chorus]
DA was pumpin' my left hand
And she was a-holdin' my right
I told her don't get scared 'cause you're gonna be spared
I've gotta be forgivin' if I wanna spend my livin'

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
