A                                       D|-----------------------|
The mama pajama rolled out of bed       A|-----------------------|
                          D             E|-----------------------|
And she ran to the police station
         E
When the papa found out he began to shout
                          A
And he started the investigation

BRIDGE:
                 E                       A
It's against the law, it was against the law
              E                       A
What the mama saw, it was against the law

VERSE 2:
A
The mama looked down and spit on the ground
                        D
Every time my name gets mentioned
    E
The papa says "Oy, if I get that boy
                                      A
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention!"

CHORUS:
               D                 A
Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
          D                  A          B7         E
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time but I don't know where
           D          G          A
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
       A      G     D           E     A      D  A  E
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
       A      G     D           E     A      D  A  E
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard

SOLO: (whistling) (chorus chords)

VERSE 3:
           A
Whoa, in a couple of days they come and take me away
                            D
But the press let the story leak
             E
And when the radical priest come and get me released
                           A
We was all on the cover of Newsweek

CHORUS:
              D                 A
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going
          D                  A          B7         E
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time but I don't know where
           D          G          A
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
       A      G     D           E     A      D  A  E
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
       A      G     D           E     A      D  A  E
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
       A      G     D           E     A      D  A  E
Seein' me and Julio down by the schoolyard
