Lyrics:

(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
