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...
