Hollies - Long Cool Woman Lyrics
(clarke / cook / greenaway)Saturday night i was downtownWorking for the fbiSitting in a nest of bad menWhisky bottles piling highBootlegging boozer on the west sideFull of people who are doing wrongJust about to call up the da manWhen i heard this woman singing a songA pair of 45's made me open my eyesMy temperature started to riseShe was a long cool woman in a black dressJust a 5'9, beautiful tallWith just one look i was a bad mess'cos that long cool woman had it allI saw her headin' to the tableWell a tall walking big black catWhen charlie said i hope that you're able boyWell i'm telling you she knows where it's atWell suddenly we heard the sirensAnd everybody started to runA jumping out of doors and tablesWell i heard somebody shooting a gunWell the da was pumping my left handAnd then she was a-holding my rightWell i told her don't get scared'cos you're gonna be sparedWell i've gotta be forgivenIf i wanna spend my livingWith a long cool woman in a black dressJust a 5'9 beautiful tallWell, with just one look i was a bad mess'cos that long cool woman had it allHad it all
