Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard
Mama's Rebellion and Julio's Escape: A Tale of Law and Liberation
Lyrics
The mama pajama rolled out of bed
The mother quickly got out of bed.
And she ran to the police station
She hurried to the police station.
When the papa found out he began to shout
When the father discovered what happened, he started yelling.
And he started the investigation
He initiated an inquiry or investigation into the matter.
It's against the law
What occurred was against the law.
It was against the law
It was against the law.
What the mama saw
Whatever the mother witnessed was unlawful.
It was against the law
It was against the law.
The mama looked down and spit on the ground
The mother expressed disgust or disapproval.
Everytime my name gets mentioned
Every time the singer's name is mentioned, something happens.
The papa said oy if I get that boy
The father said he'd punish the boy by sending him to detention.
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
The singer is leaving, unsure of his destination.
Well I'm on my way
The singer is starting a journey.
I don't know where I'm going
He doesn't have a clear idea of where he's headed.
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
The singer is taking his time on the journey.
But I don't know where
He's uncertain about his destination.
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
Goodbye to someone named Rosie, possibly a significant person from Corona (a place).
See you, me and Julio
The singer is leaving, indicating a rendezvous with Julio.
Down by the schoolyard
They plan to meet near the schoolyard.
See you, me and Julio
-Down by the schoolyard
-Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Indicating the singer and Julio's meeting place near the schoolyard.
In a couple of days they come and
In a few days, someone is coming to take the singer away.
Take me away
It was leaked to the press.
But the press let the story leak
A radical priest came to secure the singer's release.
And when the radical priest
The singer and others were featured on the cover of Newsweek.
Come to get me released
Someone tried to help the singer get released.
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
They gained attention because of this incident.
And I'm on my way
The singer is starting a journey.
I don't know where I'm going
He doesn't know the destination.
I'm on my way I'm taking my time
He's taking his time on the journey.
But I don't know where
Uncertain about his destination.
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona.
See you, me and Julio
Planning to meet Julio near the schoolyard.
Down by the schoolyard
-See you, me and Julio
-Down by the schoolyard
-See you, me and Julio
-Down by the schoolyard
