I first met Julie a long time ago,
|
Staring up at me from the front row
|
She had a timeless glow, she was the image of youth
|
That never grows old or gets long in the tooth
|
And who would think after all these years
|
That good fortune would smile my way
|
She's a symbol of all that I believe in
|
She was there at the beginning, she's still out there today
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Julie, Julie, I hope that you're still single
|
Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
|
(Woohooh hoohooh hooh, woohooh hoohooh hooh)
|
|
After me she went with a biker from Stoke,
|
Had a child with a banker from Bolton
|
I hear she ended up with a really nice bloke,
|
Who's respectable now, so my silence is golden
|
To protect her and him I've used a pseudonym,
|
But I hope she gets the vital connection
|
It was a long time ago, but I want you to know
|
Julie, you were the pick of a prime selection
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
But keep looking for your love (Woohooh hoohooh hooh)
|
|
Truly, Julie, you're only a name,
|
You could be a Molly or a Sarah-Jane
|
But if I should never see you again,
|
I'll never forget you, truly
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Keep looking for your love (Woohooh hoohooh hooh)
|
|
Julie, Julie, oh my mystery Julie Finkle
|
