Long Cool Woman - The Hollies

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
