It was attended by the following members of the Echo staff; Hope Levinson, Maxine Schreiber, Susan Ochshorn, Paulie Walnuts, Nat Schneider and Ronald Cantor.

IT'S LUCY IN THE SKY AND ALL KINDS OF APPLE PIE
SHE GIGGLES AT THE SCREEN 'COS IT LOOKS SO GREEN

BUT SOONER OR LATER, HER NEW FRIENDS WILL REALISE

THAT JULIE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE DRUG SQUAD
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 (HI, MAN...)
BUT THERE'S SOMEONE LOOKING DOWN
FROM THAT MOUNTAINSIDE
'COS JULIE'S BEEN WORKING FOR THE DRUG SQUAD
D
AND IT'S TEN YEARS FOR YOU
A
NINETEEN FOR YOU

AND YOU CAN GET OUT IN TWENTY-FIVE

THAT IS IF YOU'RE STILL ALIVE
(Bridge) D A E D A
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 WAS WORKING FOB 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
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
GUMBO! Governor Rockerfeller: Being a governor of any State I'm sure is very hard, but to be the Governor of New York is even harder. I admire you very much because you always take a firm, stand in what you believe and you stick by it. I'm sure a man of your skills will go further than Governor...Steven Abel.
