Saturday night I was downtown Workin' for the FBI Sittin' in an air-stuffin' van Whiskey bottles pilin' high Fruit liquor booths are on my west side Full of people who are doin' wrong Just about to call up the D.A. man When I heard this woman sing a song A pair of butterflies made it all for my time My temperature started to rise She was a long, cool woman in a black dress But my father, a beautiful tall Well, just one look and I was a bad mess Just a long, cool woman, that's all I saw her head up to the table Well, a tall, walkin' big, black cat My child, I said, I hope that you're evil, boy But I'm tellin' ya, she knows where it's at Well, suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run Jumpin' out of doors and tables Well, I heard somebody shootin' the gun Well, the D.A. was hung from my left hand But she was a hold of my right Well, I told her, don't escape Cause you're gonna be spent I gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my livin' With a long, cool woman in a black dress Just a five-mile, beautiful tall Well, but just one look and I was a bad mess Just a long, cool woman, that's all That's all That's all That's all That's all That's all That's all That's all
