Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard

Intro:
* These "A"s are two beats and the others are all one
Mama Pajama rolled out of bed
and she ran to the police station
When the papa found out he began to shout
and that's what started the investigation
But it's against the law, it was against the law
What the mama saw, was against the law
Well the mama looks down and she spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
And the papa says "Oy, when I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention!"
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way, takin' my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

}Whistling part

In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come and get me released
We's all on the cover of Newsweek.
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way, takin' my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

P.S. Since there is two guitars in the recording on the CD, just to clarify, this is the
guitar playing. The other one is, I think, on the fifth fret (I don't remember) and is
with a capo.
