Long Cool Woman — текст песни (Hollies)

(clarke / cook / greenaway)

Saturday night I was downtown

Working for the fbi

Sitting in a nest of bad men

Whisky 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 45s made me open my eyes

My temperature started to rise

She was a long cool woman in a black dress

Just a 59, beautiful tall

With just one look I was a bad mess

cos that long cool woman had it all



I saw her headin to the table

Well a tall walking big black cat

When charlie said I hope that youre able boy

Well Im telling you she knows where its at

Well suddenly we heard the sirens

And everybody started to run

A jumping out of doors and tables

Well I heard somebody shooting a gun



Well the da was pumping my left hand

And then she was a-holding my right

Well I told her dont get scared

cos youre gonna be spared

Well Ive gotta be forgiven

If I wanna spend my living

With a long cool woman in a black dress

Just a 59 beautiful tall

Well, with just one look I was a bad mess

cos that long cool woman had it all



Had it all
