Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) - 1999 Remaster

Saturday night I was downtown

Working for the FBI

Sitting 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 D.A. man

When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of forty fives 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 'n' tall

Just one look I was a bad mess

'Cos that long cool woman had it all

Woo!

I saw her heading 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 hear the sirens

And everybody started to run

A-jumping under doors and tables

Well, I heard somebody shootin' a gun

Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand

And a-she was a-holding my right

Well, I told her, don't get scared

'Cos you're gonna be spared

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 'n' tall

Well with just one look I was a bad mess

'Cos that long cool woman had it all

Had it all, had it all, had it all

Had it all, had it all, mmm had it all (she had it all)
