[Intro] Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sittin 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 sing a song A pair of 45s made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Justa 59, beautiful, tall With just one look I was a bad mess Cause that long cool woman had it all [Instrumental Interlude] I saw her heading to the table Like a tall walking big black cat When Charlie said I hope that youre able, boy Cause Im telling you she knows where its at Then suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run Ajumping out of doors and tables When I heard somebody shootin a gun Well the DA was pumping my left hand And ashe was aholding my right Well I told her dont get scared Cause youre gonna be spared Ive gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 59 beautiful tall Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess Cause that long cool woman had it all Had it all Had it all
