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
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
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
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 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
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 losin' 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
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
