Me & Julio Down By The School Yard
Words and Music by Paul Simon
Mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
And 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 she spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
And papa says 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 goin'
I'm on my way, I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie she's the queen of Corona (yeah)
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
(Do-do-do)
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie she's the queen of Corona
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Oh - in a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And then the radical priest
he come and me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
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 she's the queen of Corona
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
