[Verse 1]
 
C
Mama Pajama rolled out of bed
                          F
and she ran to the police station
         G
When the papa found out he began to shout
                                   C
and that's what started the investigation

 
N.C.                     G                       C
   But it's against the law, it was against the law
                  G                       C
Ah what the mama saw, it was against the law
 
         C
Well the mama looks down and she spit on the ground
                        F
Every time my name gets mentioned
         G
And the papa says "Oy, when I get that boy
                                       C
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention!"
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
N.C.             F                 C
  Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
          F                   C          D          G
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time but I don't know where
            F      A#         C
Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona
         C       A#    F           G     C F C  G
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
         C       A#    F           G     C F C  G
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

[Verse 2]
 
N.C.        C
Woah, in a couple of days they come and take me away
                            F
But the press let the story leak
              G
And when the radical priest come and get me released
                         C
We's all on the cover of Newsweek.
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
              F                 C
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
          F                   C          D          G
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time but I don't know where
            F      A#         C
Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona
         C       A#    F           G     C    F C G
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
         C       A#    F           G     C    F C G
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
         C       A#    F           G     C    F C G
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
