Long Cool Woman (in A Black Dress) Lyrics

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 moneybags 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 'n' tall

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

Charlie said, "I hope that you're able, boy

'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at"



Suddenly we hear the sirens

Everybody started to run

Jumping under doors and tables

Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun



Well, the DA was pumping my left hand

She was holding my right

Well, I told her, "Don't get scared

'Cause you're gonna be spared

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 'n' tall

Just one look I was a bad mess

'Cause that long cool woman had it all

She had it all, she had it all, she had it all

She had it all



You got it all, you got it all, you got it all

You got it all, got it all, got it all, got it all

Pretty long cool woman had it all
