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)
