Long Cool Woman (in A Black Dress) [1999 Remastered Version] Lyrics - Hollies

Saturday night I was downtown 

Working for the FBI 

Sitting in a nest of bad men 

Whiskey 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 moneybags 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 'n' tall 

Just one look I was a bad mess 

'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Woo! 

I saw her heading to the table 

Well, a tall walking big black cat 

Charlie said, "I hope that you're able, boy 

'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at" 

Suddenly we hear the sirens 

Everybody started to run 

Jumping under doors and tables 

Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun 

Well, the DA was pumping my left hand 

She was holding my right 

Well, I told her, "Don't get scared 

'Cause you're gonna be spared 

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 'n' tall 

Just one look I was a bad mess 

'Cause that long cool woman had it all 

She had it all, she had it all, she had it all 

She had it all 

You got it all, you got it all, you got it all 

You got it all, got it all, got it all, got it all 

Pretty long cool woman had it all
