Long Cool Woman [in a Black Dress]

The Hollies

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
Woh!
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 then suddenly we heard a siren
and everybody started to run
Jumping out of doors and tables
well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand
and she was holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'cos you're gonna be spared
Well I'm gonna be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With 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
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
Ooooo
Had it all
Had it all
Had it all
