Paradise City

Take me down to the paradise, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Take me down to the paradise, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty.

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Step up and deliver me to the street of my heart.

Hey, that's tough to beat.

In your chair in a cage, you'll find me something to eat.

I'll pay you all another dime!

Take it to the end of the line!

Rags to riches, oh, so they say!

You gotta keep breathing for the fortune and fame!

You know it's a dollar game, but when it's just a game!

You treat it like a grab-and-crush game!

But what's going to change?

Take me down to the paradise city

Where the breath is free and the girls are pretty!

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Yeah, yeah!

Take me down to the paradise city

Sitting where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Take me home

Wrapped in the chair of the city's gas train

My wife here I can't quite remember

The surgeon general says it's had enough of me

Gotta have another cigarette but I can't see

Tell me how you're gonna believe

Take me down to the paradise

Sitting 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 away?

So far away

So far away

So far away

Captain, the parakeet's been torn apart now

He's a go-getter with a broken heart, 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?

Won't you please take me home?

I want to see grass that I can see.

Oh, won't you please take me home?

Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green

And the girls are

Take me

Take me down to the barren outskirts

Where the grass is green

And the girls are pretty

Oh, won't you please take me home

Take me down

Take me right home

Please take me home

Take me down

Won't you please take me home

Take me down to the barren outskirts

Baby
