| Lyrics:Clarke/Cook/Greenaway Music:Clarke/Cook/Greenaway | |
| 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 | |
| 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 |
