Well the Mama pyjama rolled outta bed, she ran to the police station
         D                                                          G
When the Poppa found out, he began to shout, he started the investigation
                  D                       G
It's against the law, it was against the law
                D                        G
What what mama saw, it was against the law

Well the Mama looked down and spit on the ground 

Every time my name gets mentioned

The Poppa said oy, if I get that boy

I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
                 C                G
Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
          C              G            A          D
I'm on my way, takin' my time, but I don't know where
           G  C                    G   C
Goodbye to Ro-osie, the queen of Corona
        G       F    C           D     G     C G D
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard
        G       F    C           D      G     C G D
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard
(Instrumental break)
In a couple of days they come to take me away
When the press let the story leak
Now when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm goin'
But 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
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard
