Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he began to shout
And he started the investigation
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law
The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
The papa said: Oy if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down
By the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down
By the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down
By the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down
By the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
