[Instrumental Intro]
[?]
[Chorus]
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
Look out
[Instrumental Break]
[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
Beat it
[Verse 2]
Rags to richеs, or so they say, you gotta
Keep pushin' for the fortune and famе
You know it's all a gamble when it's just a game
Treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' the time
[Chorus]
Take me down, Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't you take me home?
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green (And the) girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
[Verse 3]
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
Surgeon General says it's hazardous to breathe
Have another cigarette, but I can't see
Tell me who you're gonna believe
[Chorus]
Take me down (To the) Paradise City
Where the grass is green (And the) girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
Take me down (To the) Paradise City
Where the grass is green (And the) girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
[Verse 4]
Captain America's been torn apart
He's a court jester with a broken heart
"Turn me around and take me back to the start"
Must be losin' my mind, "Are you blind?"
I seen it all a million times
[Chorus]
Take me down (To the) Paradise City
Where the grass is green (And the) girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green (And the) girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
Take it!
(Take me down, spin me 'round)
Won't ya take me home?
Take me down (to the) Paradise City
Where the grass is green (And the) girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home? Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I wanna go, I wanna know
Won't ya take me home?
I wanna see how good it can be
Won't ya take me home? Oh, yeah
[Outro]
Baby!
Please!
Tokyo!
Good fuckin' night!
Yeah!
