[Verse]
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 he started the investigation
[Bridge]
E A
It's against the law, it was against the law
E A
What the mama saw, it was against the law
[Verse]
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, if I get that boy
A
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention"
[Chorus]
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 A
Goodbye to Rosie, the 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

[Verse]
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 to get me released
A
We was 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 A
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of Corona
