Paul Simon - Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard

 

 

 

Mama Cajama rolled out of bed and she ran to the police station
When the Papa found out he began to shout and started the investigation

It's against the law
It's was against the law
What the mama saw
It's was against the law

Mama look down and spit on the ground every time my name gets mentioned
Papa says "oy" if they catch that boy gonna stick him in a house of detention

Well now I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
I'm taking my time and I don't know where
Goodbye Rosie, the queen of Corona?
See me, you, and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me, you, and Julio down by the schoolyard

Whoa in a couple of days they're gonna take me away
Cause the press wrote the story ink
When the radical priest come and get me released
It's all on the cover of newsweek

Well now I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
I'm taking my time and I don't know where
Goodbye Rosie, the queen of Corona?
See me, you, and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me, you, and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me, you, and Julio down by the schoolyard
