Just a-nokin', livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case, so buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Rags to riches, or so they say
You gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know 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?
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?
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 had a cigarette, but I can't see
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
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
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 (Take me down)
Take me down (Oh, take me down)
Take me down (Oh, won't you please take me home?)
Take me down (Take me down)
Take me down (Oh, take me down)
Oh, won't you please take me home?
