Letra de
Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard

A música Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard de Paul Simon, reflete a cultura jovem e as transgressões leves vistas através dos olhos de adultos. Simon nunca explicou completamente sobre o que a música é, permitindo que a ofensa mencionada na música permaneça ambígua, algo que ele viu como um elemento de diversão. A menção a Rosie, the queen of Corona refere-se a Corona, um bairro em Queens, Nova Iorque.

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
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
