Saturday night, I was downtown
Workin' for the FBI
Sittin' in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles pilin' high
Bootleggin' boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doin' wrong
Just about to call up the D.A. 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
What a 5'9, beautiful tall
With just one look, I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
♪
Whoa!
♪
I saw her headin' to the table
Well, a tall walkin' big black cat
A-Charlie said, "I hope that you're able, boy
'Cause I'm tellin' ya she knows where it's at"
Well, suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A-Jumpin' under doors and tables
Well, I heard somebody shootin' a gun
Well, the D.A. was pumpin' my left hand
I mean, she was whole on my right
Well, I told her, "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared"
I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my livin'
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9, beautiful tall
Well, 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
Had it all
Had it all
♪
Ooh
Had it all
Ah, she had it all

Yeah
