[Intro]Saturday night I was downtownWorking for the FBISittin' in a nest of bad menWhiskey bottles piling highBootlegging boozer on the west sideFull of people who are doing wrongJust about to call up the DA manWhen I heard this woman sing a songA pair of 45's made me open my eyesMy temperature started to riseShe was a long cool woman in a black dressJust-a 5'9, beautiful, tallWith just one look I was a bad mess'Cause that long cool woman had it all[Instrumental Interlude]I saw her heading to the tableLike a tall walking big black catWhen Charlie said I hope that you're able, boyCause I'm telling you she knows where it's atThen suddenly we heard the sirensAnd everybody started to runA-jumping out of doors and tablesWhen I heard somebody shootin' a gunWell the DA was pumping my left handAnd a-she was a-holding my rightWell I told her don't get scared'Cause you're gonna be sparedI've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my livingWith a long cool woman in a black dressJust a 5'9 beautiful tallYeah, with just one look I was a bad messCause that long cool woman had it allHad it allHad it all
