Just strum the chords shown:
G C
The mama pajama rolled outta bed, she ran to the police station
D G
When the papa found out he began to shout; he started the investigation
D G
And it's against the law; it was against the law
D G C G D
What the mama saw; it was against the law
G C
The mama looked down and spit on the ground every time my name gets mentioned
D G
The papa said "Oy! If I get that boy I'm gonna stick him in a house of detention."

Oooh 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
CHORUS
And I'm on my way; I don't know where I'm goin'
But I'm on my way; I'm takin' my time but I don't know where
Goodbye Rosie the Queen of Corona
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Drum Solo
