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 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 'Cos that long cool woman had it all
I saw her headin' to the table WITH a tall walking big black cat Well Charlie said I hope that you're able boy 'COS I'm telling you she knows where it's at When suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run I JUMPED DOWN AND ACROSS THE TABLE When 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 don't get scared 'Cos you're gonna be spared Well I've gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9 beautiful tall Well, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cos that long cool woman had it all
