Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Whoa, won′t ya take me home?
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Whoa, won't ya take me home?
Look out

Just a urchin livin′ under the street
I'm a hard case, ---kin′ tough to beat
I'm a charity case, so buy me something to eat
I′ll pay you at another time, take it to the end of the line
Beat it


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 into the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won′t ya take me home?
Take me down into the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
Look out

Right 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 take
Well, tell me who you gonna believe

Take me down into the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won′t ya take me home?
Take me down into the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won′t ya take me home, yeah-eah, heah


So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Captain America's been torn apart
He′s a court jester with a broken heart
He said, "Turn me around and take me back to the start"
Must be losing my mind, are you blind?
I've seen it all a million times

Take me down into the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won′t ya take me home?
Take me down into the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won't ya take me home?
Take it

Take me down
Gonna set me down

Take me down into the paradise city
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Won′t ya take me home?
Yeah

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, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah

Baby
Please
Las Vegas
Go
---- it
No
Yeah
