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
|
|
{interlude}
|
|
Whoa
|
|
I saw her headin' to the table
|
Well 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 suddenly we heard the sirens
|
And everybody started to run
|
A jumping out of doors and tables
|
Well 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
|
|
Had it all
|
Had it all
|
Yeah had it all
|
Had it all
|
Had it all
|
Oooh
|
Had it all
|
