| 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 heading 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 then suddenly we heard a siren
|
| And everybody started to run
|
| Jumping out of doors and tables
|
| Well I heard somebody shooting a gun
|
| Well the DA was pumping my left hand
|
| And she was holding my right
|
| Well I told her don’t get scared
|
| 'Cos you’re gonna be spared
|
| Well I’m gonna be forgiven
|
| If I wanna spend my living
|
| With 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 |
