lyrics

Words by Elizabeth Levett Fortier

She says, she says, she's got to have some.
She knows she holds his heart for ransom.
Don't come back with empty pockets,
She needs rings and clothes and lockets.
He watched the alley, watched the guard.
He tried the locks, the window's barred.
The bait was set, the trap was laid.
Exquisitely her plans were made.

Sargent Lou had walked this street
He'd seen the signs, he knew his beat
Lucy Bell, they called her then.
She had a way with all the men.
The guard was slow, but easily paid.
And the streets were swelled for the big parade.
He tried the lock, found the door,
padded softly across the floor.

The glass cut neatly beneath his hand.
He'd fetch at least a hundred grand.
He stumbled out into the dance -
There she was, a crazy chance.
He found his way into her arms
and felt at last he was safe from harm.
She snapped the cuffs on neat and tight –
Smoothed her hair, flipped on the light

She got her man, she got the swag -
Sergeant Lucy all in drag.
