The (A)mama pajama rolled out of bed,
and she ran to the police (D)station
When the (E)papa found out, he began to shout,
and he started the investi(A)gation

It s against the (E)law;
it was against the (A)law
What the mama (E)saw;
it was against the (A)law

The (A)mama looked down and spit on the ground,
every time my name gets (D)mentioned
The (E)papa said oy, if I get that boy,
I m gonna stick him in the house of de(A)tention

Well I m on my (D)way;
I don t know (A)where I m going
I m on my (D)way, I m taking my (A)time;
but I (B7)don t know (E)where
Goodbye to (D)Rosie, the (G)queen of Co(A)rona
Seeing me and (G)Julio,

Whoa, in a (A)couple of days, they come and take me away,
but the press let the story (D)leak
Now when the (E)radical priest, come to get me released,

Well I m on my (D)way;
