Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 That Julie's been working for the drug squad She can even look you in the eye! [Verse 2] 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! [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 was working for the drug squad Julie's been working for the drug squad [Verse 4] 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 Julie's been working for the drug squad Come On! [Chorus] Ten years for you, nineteen for you And you can get out in twenty-five That is if you're alive, oh alive [Outro] "You're fair Shouldn't stay alone!"
