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 [DA = District Attorney]
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 59 beautiful tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cos that long cool woman had it all
I saw her headed towards the table,
Like 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
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 [DA = District Attorney]
And 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 59 beautiful tall.
With just one look I was a bad mess,
'Cos that long cool woman had it all.
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all ...
