Paul Simon
Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
[Verse 1]
Mama Pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he began to shout
And started the investigation
[Refrain]
It's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law
[Verse 2]
Mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
Papa said "Oh, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"
[Chorus]
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 me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
[Verse 3]
Whoa, every couple of days they come to take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
It was all on the cover of Newsweek
[Chorus]
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
G-g-g-goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
M-m-m-me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Yeah, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
