Lyrics:
THESE ARE THE LYRICS TO PAUL SIMON'S --
ME AND JULIO DOWN BY THE SCHOOLYARD (These are off the top of my head so forgive me for errors. I think the name of the song is actually 'The 59th street bridge song'.)
Mama Cajama 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's against the law What the mama saw Was against the law
Mama look down and spit on the ground every time my name gets mentioned Papa says 'oy' if they catch that boy gonna stick him in a house of detention
CHORUS Now I'm on my way I don't know where I'm going But I'm on my way I'm taking my time and I don't know where Goodbye Rosie, the queen of Corona (?) See me, you, and Julio down by the schoolyard See me, you, and Julio down by the schoolyard
Whoa in a couple of days they're gonna take me away, cause the press wrote the story ink When the radical priest come and get me released, it's all on the cover of newsweek
CHORUS
**Big Daddy** (schultwh@bigvax.alfred.edu)
