Julie's Been Working For the Drug Squad lyrics

It's Lucy in the sky and all kinds of apple pie

She giggles at the screen because it looks so green

There's carpets on the pavements and feathers in her eye

But sooner or later, her new friend will realize

That Julie's been working for the drug squad

Julie's been working for the drug squad

She will even look you in the eye!

Well it seemed like a dream, too good to be true

Stash it in the bank while the tablets grow high in their millions

And everybody's high-igh-igh (Hi! Man)

But there's someone looking down from that mountainside

'Cause Julie's been working for the drug squad

'Cause Julie's been working for the drug squad

Come On!

Ten years for you, nineteen for you

And you can get out in twenty-five

That is if you're alive, oh alive

Don't get a life, oh alive, oh

And then there came the night of the greatest ever raid

They arrested every drug that had ever been made

They took eighty-two laws through eighty-two doors

And they didn't halt the pull till the cells were all full

'Cause Julie's been working for the drug squad

'Cause Julie's been working for the drug squad

Come On!

They put him in a cell, they said, "You wait here"

You've got the time to count all of your hair

You've got fifteen years, it's mighty long time

You could have been a physicist, but now your name is on the mailbag list

'Cause Julie's been working for the drug squad

'Cause Julie's been working for the drug squad

Come On!

Ten years for you, nineteen for you

And you can get out in twenty-five

That is if you're alive, oh alive

Don't get a life, oh alive, oh

"You're fair

Shouldn't stay alone!"
