Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard

sung by Paul Simon and the kids
Written by Paul Simon


Little Girl improvised sing-along:

Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, all right!
Dance, dance, dance
Everybody dance, everybody dance
Oh, you can dance with me
You can dance with me
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, all right!
Dance, dance, dance, all right!
Everybody dance!

Paul: Mama Pajama rolled outta bed
She ran to the police station
When the papa found out, he had began to shout
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
Then papa said "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'
But I'm on my way
Takin' my time, but I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio down by the schoolyard

Little Girl improvised sing-along:

You can tell me
You can tell me
I can see the birds in different songs
You can dance now
You can dance now, all right!
You can dance now
Everybody dance around
