A
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   
and that's what started the investigation


                      E                      A
But it's against the law, it was against the law
              E                                         A | D | 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
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
                    D                       A
Goodbye to Rosie, 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
                                       D
But the press let the story leak

And when the radical priest come and get me released
                                              A
Well it was all on the cover of Newsweek.

                        D                          A
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
