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
Whiskey 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
'Cause that long cool woman
had it all

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 the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping under 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
"Cause 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
'Cause that long cool woman
had it all
Had it all had it all
had it all
