Verse

Saturday night I was downtown Working for the F.B.I. 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 sing a song

A pair of 45s 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 'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Verse

I saw her head up 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 Then suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run A-jumping out of doors and tables When I heard somebody shooting 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 'Cause you're gonna be spared I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9 beautiful tall Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Coda (over main riff):

Had it all... [repeat to fade]
