INTRO:

VERSE 1:
Saturday night I was downtown working for the F.B.I
Sittin' in a nest of bad men, whiskey bottles pilin' high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side, full of people who are doing wrong.
Just about to call up the D.A. man, when I heard this woman sing a song
Chorus:
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 5'9 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Interlude:

Wooow!
Verse2:
I saw her heading to the table, with 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 siren's, and everybody started to run
Jumping out of doors and tables, well I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well the D.A. 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 forgiving
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...
