(Introduction) 

In a couple of days they're gonna take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me released
We're 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 Corona
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
