 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
 It s 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,
 I m gonna stick him in the house of detention
 Well I m on my way;
 I don t know where  I m going
 I m on my way,  I m taking my time;
 but I don  t know where
 Goodbye to Rosie,  the queen  of Corona
 Seeing me  and Julio,
down  by the schoolyard
 Seeing me  and Julio,
down  by the schoolyard
 4x
 Whoa, 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
 Well I m on my way;
 I don t know where  I m going
 I m on my way,  I m taking my time;
 but I don  t know where
 Goodbye to Rosie,  the queen  of Corona
 Seeing me  and Julio,
down  by the schoolyard
 Seeing me  and Julio,
down  by the schoolyard
 Seeing me  and Julio,
down  by the schoolyard
 4x
