Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard – Lorde (originally by Paul Simon)
By
Mama pyjama rolled outta bed And she ran to the police station When the Papa found out, he began to shout He started the investigation
It was against the law, it was against the law What my Mama saw, it was against the law
And the Mama looked down and she spit on the ground Every time my name gets mentioned And 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 And I’m on my way, it’s taking to town but I don’t know where Goodbye to Rosie, queen of Corona Seeing me and Julio down by the schoolyard Seeing me and Julio down by the schoolyard
In a couple of days they’re gonna take me away When the press let the story leak I have no reason, I have no reason And 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’ll take to town but I don’t know where Goodbye to Rosie, queen of Corona Seeing me and Julio down by the schoolyard Me and Julio down by the schoolyard Seeing me and Julio down by the schoolyard From me and Ella in Golden Gate Park
