Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of na
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Whoa!
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

And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of na

See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyardLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard Lyrics

Mama pajama rolled out of bed
And she ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he began to shout
And he started the investigation

It's against the law, it was against the law
What the mama saw, it was against the law

Mama looked down and spit on the ground
Every time my name gets mentioned
The papa say, "Oy, 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 goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of na
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Whoa!
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

And I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm on my way, I'm takin' my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the Queen of na

See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. He first gained world-wide recognition as the writing talent behind the popular American folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel formed with fellow musician Art Garfunkel. When Simon & Garfunkel split in 1970, Simon quickly began his solo career with the release of the self-titled album, Paul Simon. This was followed by There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All These Years, both of which featured chart-topping hits such as Loves Me Like A Rock and Kodachrome. In 1986 Simon released the immensely popular Graceland, which featured the groundbreaking use of African rhythms and performers Ladysmith Black Mambazo. In 1990, he followed up Graceland with the successor album The Rhythm of the Saints which featured Brazilian and Cajun musical themes. These albums helped to popularize world music as a genre.

He co-wrote the unsuccessful, but critically-acclaimed musical The Capeman with Nobel-winning poet Derek Walcott in 1997.

Paul Simon still tours occasionally, both as a solo artist and with his old musical partner Art Garfunkel. He is married to Edie Brickell.

In 1994 Paul Simon held 14 sold out concerts in Nantes (France) with International professional fusion players: Nino Manore (Italy), Francis Mc Gowan (UK), Gissele Masarde (France), Nikša Sviličić (Croatia), and others.
