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 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 |
|
'Cause that long cool woman had it all |
|
Woo! |
|
I saw her head up to the table |
|
With a tall walking big black cat |
|
Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy |
|
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at" |
|
When suddenly we heard the sirens |
|
And everybody started to run |
|
I jumped down and across the table |
|
When 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 |
|
'Cause 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 |
|
'Cause that long cool woman had it all |
|
Had it all, had it all |
|
Had it all, had it all |
|
Had it all, had it all |
