Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

Track 07 off of 99 Songs of Revolution, Volume I. Streetlight Manifesto's cover of Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard by Paul Simon.

Lyrics:
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

Its 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
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy if I get that boy
Im gonna stick him in the house of detention

Well Im on my way
I dont know where Im going
Im on my way Im taking my time
But I dont know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
Seeing 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 on the cover of Newsweek

And Im on my way
I dont know where Im going
Im on my way Im taking my time
But I dont 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
