The mama pajama rolled out of 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
The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Ev'ry time my name gets mentioned
The papa said, "Oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention."
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking 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
In a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all over the cover of Newsweek
And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
I'm taking 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
And she ran to the police station
