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
|
|
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
|
|
Rags to riches or so they say
|
Ya gotta-keep pushin'
|
For the fortune and fame
|
You know it's all a gamble
|
When it's just a game
|
Ya treat it like a capital crime
|
And everybody's doin' their 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
|
Yeah!
|
|
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'd had another cigarette
|
But I can't even see
|
Tell me that you're gonna believe
|
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
So far away
|
So far away
|
So far away
|
So far away
|
|
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!
|
|
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!
|
|
I want you to sing
|
Boy, you gotta be mean
|
Oh won't you take me home
|
|
Oh take me down
|
To the paradise city
|
Where the grass is green
|
And the girls are pretty
|
Oh, won't you, take me home
|
I wanna go
|
And I wanna know
|
Take me home!
