Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI.
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high.
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who were 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 5'9 beautiful tall.
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all.

I saw her heading to the table
With a tall walking big black cat.
When Charlie said I hope that you're able boy
Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at.
Well then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run.
Jumping out of doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun.

Well the DA was pumping my left hand
And she was holding my right.
Well I told her don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared.
Well I've gotta be forgiven
If I wanna spend my living
With 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.

Had it all...
(Was I her? ever so briefly...)

Dear Prudence (Lennon/McCartney)

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?
