Saturday night I was downtown
Workin' for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles pilin' high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doin' wrong
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singin' 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 doll
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

I saw her head up to the table
With a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
'cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shootin' a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right
Well I told her don't be scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend a living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5-9 beautiful doll
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
