Mama Pajama rolled out of bed, and she ran to the police station.
When the papa found out, he began to shout, and started the investigation.
It's against the law. It was against the law.
Ah, what the mama saw, it was against the law.
Mama looks down and spit on the ground, every time my name gets mentioned.
Papa says, "Oy, when 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 goin'.
I'm on my way. I'm takin' my time, but I don't know where.
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona.
Seein' me and Julio down by the school yard.
Seein' me and Julio down by the school yard.
Woah, In a couple of days they come and take me away, but the press let the story leak.
And when the radical priest come and get me released, we's all on the cover of Newsweek.
