The mama looked down and spit on the ground ev’ry time my name gets mentioned,

See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard. 


In a couple of days they come and take me away, 
But the press let the story leak, 
And when the radical priest come to get me released , 
We’s all on the cover of Newsweek.  


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 Rosie the queen of Corona, 
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard, 
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard, 
See you me and Julio down by the schoolyard.
