Take me down to the
paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
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
take me home)
Just an urchin livin
under the street
I'm a hard case that's
tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So by me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
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
capitol crime
Everybody' doin' their time
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
Take me down to the
paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home
Strapped in the chair of
the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't
quite remember
The surgoen general say's
it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
But I can't see
Tell me that you're
gonna believe
Take me down to the
paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
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
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
Capitain 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
mllion times
Take me down to the
paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
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
Take me down to the
paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
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 want to go
I want to know
Oh won't you please
take me home
I want to see
Oh look at me
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
Take me home
