Simon & Garfunkel是60年代知名的民謠搖滾二重唱團體，著名的歌曲有《The Sound of Silence》、《Bridge Over Troubled Water》、《Mrs. Robinson》等等。1970，倆人散夥各奔前程，但在之後的歲月裡，倆人仍曾多次合體出現在演唱會的場合。

此首《Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard》為Paul Simon單飛後所寫，收錄在他個人第2張與自己同名的專輯《Paul Simon》/( 1972) 中，專輯成績亮眼，獲得告示牌流行專輯榜第4名，單曲成績也不差，在熱門100排行榜位居第22。

歌曲中最讓人感興趣的是：mama pajama到底看到了兩位年輕人什麼犯罪的事，使得她要到警察局去報案？當Simon被滾石雜誌的記者問到時，回說：他所想到的是關於「性」方面的事，但從未困擾說要弄清楚到底是什麼？因這對他來說是沒差。所以，有人認為這是關於兩個男生的「性實驗」( 註：當時美國除了伊利諾州外的各州，都規定同性戀行為違法 )。歌詞中的radical priest ( 激進的牧師 )，一般咸信靈感是來自於當時正被登在Time雜誌封面的反戰牧師Daniel Berrigan。另，Simon在紐約的皇后區長大，Corona是其中的一個社區，兩者也都被編進了歌詞「Goodbye to Rosie, the queen of Corona」。

歌名Me and Julio語法不正確，應該是Julio and I Down……才對，但此可能無法補獲年輕的純真，而使得這首歌如此地受歡迎。

The mama pajama rolled out of 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"
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
Whoa, in a couple of days they come and take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest
Come to get me released
We was all on the cover of Newsweek
And 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
Seein' me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
