The drug dealer in the song is ann old fashioned type who believes in family values. He does business strictly in illegal recreational drugs and carries on his trade on the sleazy side of town. The latest trend in illegal drug dealing however is the sale of fake prescription drugs over the internet so our boy is getting out of the pharma business.

I became a drug dealer about twenty years back,
And made quite a fortune from Charlie and Smack.
I drove a black Merc. and had women galore,
Now its never I'll be a drug dealer no more

CHORUS
And its no, nay, never (clap clap clap)
No nay never no more
Will I play the drug dealer
No never no more

The cops took an interest, I was under the hammer
And had no great wish to spend years in the slammer,
Bought a house in Orlando, moved my assets offshore
And its never I'll play the drug dealer no more

CHORUS
And its no, nay, never (clap clap clap)
No nay never no more
Will I play the drug dealer
No never no more

I married a lap dancer, we had several kids
And I never breathed word of the things I once did
My neighbours respect me, a fine citizen
Who would not know a crack house from an opium den

CHORUS
And its no, nay, never (clap clap clap)
No nay never no more
Will I play the drug dealer
No never no more

REPEAT CHORUS

And its no, nay, never (clap clap clap)
No nay never no more
Will I play the drug dealer
No never no more
