It's Lucy and this guy and all kinds of apple pie
She giggles at the screen 'cos 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 didn'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
But there's someone looking down from that mountainside
'Cos Julie's been working for the drug squad
'Cos Julie's been working for the drug squad
Gumbo

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 yeah alive, oh alive, oh

An' 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
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've got fifteen years, it's 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

Ten years for you nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're still alive, oh alive
[Incomprehensible] sit still
