Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) lyrics
A crime-filled night in a seedy bar is interrupted when a woman sings a song that catches the attention of an undercover FBI agent. With her tall, beautiful figure clad in a black dress, she mesmerizes him and the scene quickly erupts into chaos when the police arrive. Despite the chaos, the agent manages to protect the woman and the two escape the chaos. The agent is captivated by her and determined to spend his life with her despite the dangerous situation.

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sittin' in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling highBootlegging 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 sing a songA 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
'Cause that long cool woman had it all[Instrumental Interlude]
I saw her heading to the table
Like a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A-jumping out of doors and tables
When I heard somebody shootin' a gun
Well the DA was pumping my left handAnd a-she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared
I've gotta be forgivin' if I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all
Had it all
