Lyrics

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

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 aholding 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
