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 D.A. 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

8 bars

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
