[blondeatlast]

doing "Down by the Schoolyard?"

It's haunted me for years . . .

1. I thought the lyrics were

"... singing me & Julio down by the school yard"

but it turns out this is it:

I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
Me and Julio down by the schoolyard
