Silence

Intro

Take me down to the Paradise City

Verse

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?

Instrumental

Chorus

Just a 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

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 doin' the 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

Chorus

Tell me who you're 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 yeah

Instrumental

So far away

Verse

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

Chorus

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

Instrumental

I wanna go and I wanna know

Chorus

Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see how good it can be

Outro

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?)
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 (ooh, yeah), lead me 'round
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see, what a woman can be
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see what I couldn't 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 wanna go, I wanna know
Oh, won't you please take me home? (Yeah, baby, please)
