Letra
[Intro]
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?)
[Verse 1]
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 somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
[Verse 2]
Ragz to richez or so they say, ya gotta
Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble when it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
I wanna go, I wanna know
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see how good you'd be
Oh, won't you please take me home?
[Chorus]
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 (Ooh, yeah)
Meet me 'round
Oh, won't you please take me home?
I wanna see how good you'd be (Oh yeah, oh yeah)
Oh, won't you please take me home?
[Outro]
I wanna see, oh, how good you'd be
Oh, I'll take you 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? (Oh, won't you take me home?)
I wanna know
I wanna know
Oh, won't you please take me home?
Yeah, baby
Please!
