A
Mama Pajama rolled out of bed

                          D
and she ran to the police station

         E
When the papa found out he began to shout

                                   A      
and that's what started the investigation

N.C.                     E                       A
   But it's against the law, it was against the law

                  E                       A
Ah what the mama saw, it was against the law

         A
Well the mama looks down and she spit on the ground

                        D
Every time my name gets mentioned

         E
And the papa says "Oy, when I get that boy

                                       A
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention!"
[Chorus]
N.C.             D                 A
  Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going

          D                   A          B          E
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time but I don't know where

            D      G          A
Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona

         A       G     D           E     A D A  E
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

         A       G     D           E     A D A  E
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

N.C.        A
Woah, in a couple of days they come and take me away

                            D
But the press let the story leak

              E
And when the radical priest come and get me released

                         A
We's all on the cover of Newsweek.
[Chorus]
              D                 A
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going

          D                   A          B          E
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time but I don't know where

            D      G          A
Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona

         A       G     D           E     A    D A E
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

         A       G     D           E     A    D A E
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard

         A       G     D           E     A    D A E
See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
