Incredibly tired and bored, which is CLEARLY why I'm posting songlyrics.

anyway.

Mama Pyjama rolled out of bed
and she ran to the police station.
When Papa found out he began to shout
and started the investigation.

It's against the law
it was against the law
hey, what that Mama saw?
It was against the law.

Whoo, Mama look down and spit on the ground
ev'ry time my name gets mentioned;
Papa says "Oi, 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
Well I'm on my way
Taking my time, but I don't know where

Goodbye, Rooosie,
The Queen of Corona

Singing me and Julio down by the Schoolyard
Singing me and Julio down by the schoolyard.

Whoa! In a couple of days they going to take me away
but the press let the story leak.
When the radical priest come to get me released
we was all on the cover of Newsweek.

Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
Well I'm on my way
Taking my time, but I don't know where

Goodbye, Rooosie,
The Queen of Corona

Singing me and Julio down by the Schoolyard
Singing me and Julio down by the schoolyard.



If you're curious, as I always have been, as to what the Mama Pyjama saw, I read an interview somewhere where Paul Simon, who wrote the song, said "I don't know- probably something sexual." Me, I just put it down as the most accidentally gay song ever.. >:D

OK, I have the Me First and The Gimme Gimmes version of that song, and I swear when I first listened to the lyrics I had the exact same thought ^__^.

Definitely sounds like it's about being charged with sodomy. Te he!

Great Song. Hee hee. Paul Simon didn't know what it was he was writing!? Or maybe we're just perverse.
