TITLE: Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
Lyrics and Chords


Mama Pajama rolled outa 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

/ G - / - C / D - / - G x / D - G - / D - G - /

The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa says, oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention

/ G - / - C / D - / - G /

{Refrain}
Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, takin' 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

/ C - G - / C - G D / C CF G - / GF CD GC GD / /

In a couple of days they're gonna take me away
But the press let the story leak
When the radical priest comes to get me released
We're all on the cover of Newsweek

{Refrain}

See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
