Paradise |
Take me down to the paradise city |
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty |
Take me home (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 (oh, won’t you, please, take me home?) |
Just an urchin living 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 |
Rags to riches or so, they say |
You gotta keep pushing 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 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, yeah, yeah? |
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 surgeon general says it’s hazardous to breathe |
I’d have another cigarette, but I can’t see |
Tell me who ya gonna believe |
Take me down to the paradise city |
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty |
Take me home, yeah, 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? |
So far away, so far away |
So far away, so far away |
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 |
Take me down to the paradise city |
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty |
Take me home, yeah, 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? |
Take me down to the paradise city |
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty |
Take me home, yeah, 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 |
Oh, I want to go, I want to know |
Oh, won’t you, please, take me home? |
I want to 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 |
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, take me down |
Oh, won’t you, please, take me home? |
I want to see how good it can be |
Oh, won’t you, please, take me home? |
I want to see how good it can be |
Oh, oh, 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 know, I want to know |
Oh, won’t you, please, take me home? |
Yeah, baby! |
