Paul Simon - Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard

Lyrics:

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
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 was all on the cover of Newsweek

And 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
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

One of life's enduring mysteries ---- what Mama Pajama saw.  Kinda like bigfoot.

So the pervert decamps after Moomin Mamma, Moomin Papa and Moomin troll see the goings on in the schoolyard ! Julio thinks to himself I want no part of this, I am going back to El Salvador or Columbia to grow some cocococococaine

[Delcie Kestner]

That thing that sounds like a straw going through the hole in a plastic cup lid? A cuica.

The words tell you

[bobbystips]

What's the name of that weird instrument? You know the one I'm talking about!

[Brian Yasus]

It's about a kid and his friend, but the kid gets in trouble for some unfathomable reason so it really doesn't mean anything important. Just though you'd like to know :)
