Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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, yeah
[Verse 2]
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?
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
Just an urchin living under the street
Yes I'm a hard case that's though 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 4]
Rags to the riches or so they say
You got to keep pushing for the fortune and fame
It's all gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
'Cause everybody's doing the time
[Verse 5]
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take home?
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
Hey
Strapped in the chair of the city gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
So tell me who you're going to believe
[Verse 8]
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, yeah
[Verse 9]
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?
[Verse 10]
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
[Verse 11]
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 start
I must be losing my mind, are you blind?
I've seen it all a million times
[Verse 12]
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, yeah
[Verse 13]
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?
[Verse 14]
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?
[Verse 15]
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?
[Verse 16]
Take me down, oh yeah
Take me down
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I want to see
Yeah, I gotta see
Oh, won't you please take me home?
[Verse 17]
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?
