Annotationen
Es geht im Song darum, dass Teenager bei einem Streich, vielleicht bei etwas Schlimmerem (die Übertretung wird nicht genannt) gesehen, verpfiffen und verklagt werden. Am Ende werden sie durch die Intervention eines Priesters frei gelassen und kommen in die Schlagzeilen.

Lyrics
The mama pajama rolled outta 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 The mama looked down and spit on the ground every time my name gets mentioned The papa said "Oy! if I get that boy I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention" [Hook] Well I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going I'm on my way, I'm taking my time, but I don't know where Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona Seein', me and Julio down by the schoolyard Seein', me and Julio down by the schoolyard [Instrumental break] In a couple of days they're gonna take me away But the press let the story leak When the radical priest come to get me released We was all on the cover of Newsweek [Hook]
