Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard Lyrics By Paul Simon

    the mama pajama rolled outta bed
    and she ran to the police station
    when the papa found out he began to shout
    and he started the investigation

    pre
    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
    every time 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
    seein’ me and julio down by the schoolyard
    seein’ me and julio down by the schoolyard

    break

    in a couple of days they’re gonna take me away
    but the press let the story leak
    when the radical priest come to get 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 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
