Lyrics
|
|
Take me down to the Paradise City
|
|
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
|
|
Take me home (I want 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 (I want you, please, take me home)
|
|
Just an urchin living 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 and riches, or so they say, you gotta
|
|
Keep pushing for the fortune and fame
|
|
You know it's, it's all a gamble when it's just a game
|
|
You treat it like a capital crime
|
|
Everybody's doing 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? Yeah-yeah
|
|
Take me down to the Paradise City
|
|
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
|
|
Take me home
|
|
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 you're gonna believe?
|
