[Verse 1]
The mama pajama rolled out of bed
She ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he began to shout
And he started the investigation
And it's against the law, it was against the law
What the mama saw, it was against the law

[Verse 2]
Ooh, the mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa said, "Oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"

[Chorus]
Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
Taking my time but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]
Woah, in a couple of days, they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
Now when the radical priest come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek, oh
[Chorus]
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 me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard

[Outro]

What a night!
God, I thought it might be somewhat, uh, crowded
But we seem, uh, to have filled the place
