Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Just an urchin livin' under the street

I'm a hard case that's tough to beat

I'm your charity case so buy me something to eat

I'll pay you at another time

Take it to the end of the line

[Verse 2]

Rags to riches or so they say

You gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame

You know it's, it's all a gamble when it's just a game

You treat it like a capital crime

Everybody's doing the time

[Chorus]

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home, yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home? Yeah

[Bridge]

So far away

So far away

So far away

So far away

[Verse 3]

Captain America's been torn apart

Now he's a court jester with a broken heart

He said "Turn me around and take me back to the start"

I must be losing my mind, "Are you blind?"

I've seen it all a million times

[Chorus]

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home, yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home, yeah

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Home

[Outro]

Oh, I wanna go, I wanna go

Oh, won't you please take me home?

I wanna see how good it can be

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Take me down to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home?

I wanna go, I wanna know

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Baby, huh
