| Paul Simon – Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
Without explanation, the name "Rosie" pops into the song. Explanations for Rosie have been suggested - but have you ever heard an explanation for why Paul sings Rosie's name as "Ro - o - sie"? "Goodbye to Ro - o - sie" is an instruction to remove the sounds Ro o sie from RoMeo and Juliet , leaving Me and Julio (down by the schoolyard). Further, Papa was referring to the New York Women's House of Detention (see Wikipedia: a women's prison in New York City which existed from 1932 to 1974). Also according to Wikipedia, there has never been a men's prison in New York City with "House of Detention" in the name. |
