Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress-The Hollies

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

♪ instrumental ♪

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
