LONG COOL WOMANThe Hollies(from the lyric sheet included with the UK pressingof the "Distant Light" Album)Saturday night I was downtownWorking for the F.B.I.Sitting in a nest of bad menWhiskey bottles piling highBootlegging boozer on the west sideFull of people who are doing wrongJust about to call up the DA manWhen I heard this woman sing a songA pair of 45s made me open my eyesMy temperature started to riseShe was a long cool woman in a black dressJust-a 5'9, beautiful, tallWith just one look I was a bad mess'Cause that long cool woman had it allI saw her heading to the tableLike a tall walking big black catWhen Charlie said I hope that you're able boy'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's atThen suddenly we heard the sirensAnd everybody started to runA-jumping out of doors and tablesWhen I heard somebody shooting a gunWell the DA was pumping my left handAnd a-she was a-holding my rightWell I told her don't get scared'Cause you're gonna be sparedI've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my livingWith a long cool woman in a black dressJust a 5'9 beautiful tallYeah, with just one look I was a bad mess'Cause that long cool woman had it allHad it all.....
