Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she went to the police station
When papa found out he began to shout
And started the investigation
It's against the law
It was against the law
Oh, what the mama saw
It was against the law
[Verse 2]
Mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
Papa said, "Ah, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way
And I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where
So goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Mhm, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
[Verse 4]
Whoa, in a couple of days they come and take me away
And the press lets the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
[Verse 5]
Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way
And I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where
So goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Mhm, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
(Me and Julio down by the schoolyard)
(Me and Julio down by the schoolyard)
