Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)
The Hollies
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 DA man
When I heard this woman sing 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 five nine
Beautiful
Tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
‘Cause that long cool woman had it all

Woo

I saw her headin’ to the table
Like a tall walkin’ big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you’re able boy
‘Cause I’m tellin’ you she knows where it’s at

Then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A-jumpin’ out of doors and tables
When I heard somebody shootin’ a gun

Well the DA was pumpin’ my left hand
And a she was was a-holdin’ my right
Well I told her don’t get scared
‘Cause you’re gonna be spared
I’ve gotta beforgivin’
If I wanna spend my livin’
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a five nine
Beautiful
Tall
Yeah 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

Oooh

Had it all

She had it all
