Saturday night I was downtown, workin' for the FBI |
|
Sittin' in a nest of bad men, |
|
Whiskey bottles pilin' high. |
|
A bootleggin' boozer on the west side, |
|
Full o' people who were doin' wrong |
|
A just about to call the DA-man, |
|
When I heard this woman singin' a song... |
|
A pair o' 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. |
|
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night ay yeah |
|
I saw her head up to the table |
|
Just a tall walkin' big black cat |
|
A'Charlie said, "I hope that you're able boy." |
|
Cause I'm tellin' you she knows where it's at. |
|
Well suddenly we heard the sirens, |
|
And everybody started to run. |
|
Jumpin' outta doors and tables, |
|
Well I heard someone shootin' a gun. |
|
Well the DA was pumpin' my left hand, |
|
And she was a-holdin' my right. |
|
I said don't be scared, y'gonna be spared, |
|
Well I gotta be forgivin' |
|
If I wanna spend my livin' with |
|
* Repeat |
|
Missy was fine, she blew my mind, |
|
I think about that woman all the time, |
|
She was a long cool woman in a black dress... |
