It's Lucy in the sky and all kinds of apple pie
She giggle at the screen 'cos it looks so green
There's carpets on the pavement and feathers in her eye
But sooner or later, her new friends will realise
That Julie's been working for the drug squad, that Julie's been working for
the drug squad
She won't 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, high, high, high man
But there's someone looking down from that mountain side
'Cos Julie's been working for the drug squad, 'cos Julie's been working for
the drug squad, Gumbo
Chorus:
Ten years for you, nineteen for you, and you can get out in twenty-five, that
is if you're still alive
Oh alive, oh alive, 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
'Cos Julie's been working for the drug squad, 'cos Julie's been working for the drug squad
They put him in a cell, they said you wait here
You've got the time to count all of your hair
You got fifteen years, it's a mighty long time
You could have been a physicist, but now your name is on the mailbag list
Julie's been working for the drug squad, Julie's been working for the drug
squad, Gumbo
Chorus:
Ten years for you, nineteen for you, and you can get out in twenty-five, that
is if you're still alive
Oh alive
