Mama Pajama rolled out of bed
D
and she ran to the police station
E
When the papa found out he began to shout
A D A
and that's what started the investigation
E A
But it's against the law, it was against the law
E A
What the mama saw, was against the law
A
Well the mama looks down and she spit on the ground
D
Every time my name gets mentioned
E
And the papa says "Oy, when I get that boy
A D A
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention!"
D A
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
D A B E
I'm on my way, takin' my time but I don't know where

In a couple of days they come and take me away

We's all on the cover of Newsweek.

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.
