Hollies :: :: Long Cool Woman




  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
  
  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
