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 sing a song 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 bed mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all I saw her heading to the table Like a tall walking big black cat When charlie said I hope that your're able boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at Then suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run A-jumping out of doors and tables When I heard somebody shooting a gun Well the da was pumping my left hand And a-she was a-holding my right Well I told her don't get scared 'Cause your're gonna be spared I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9 beautiful tall Yeah, with just on look I was a bed mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all, had it all, had it all, had it all, had it all Ooh, had it all Oh, yeah, all Yeah, all.
