[Intro]

Ooh, baby

Mama, should I build a wall?

Ooh, baby

Mama, should I build a wall?

[Chorus]

Take me down a-to the Paradise City

Where the, the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Won't ya take me home?

Take me down a-to the Paradise City

Where the grass is green and-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, fuckin' tough to beat

I'm your 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

[Verse 2]

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

Treat it like a capital crime

Everybody's doing the time

[Chorus]

Take me down to a Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Won't ya take me home?

Take me down a-to a Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Won't ya take me home?

Look out

[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 a-to a Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Won't ya take me home?

Take me down a-to a Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Won't ya take me home?

Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

So far away

So far away

So far away

So far away

[Verse 4]

Captain America's been torn apart

A court jester with a broken heart

"Turn me around and take me back to the start"

Must be losing my mind, "Are you blind?"

I seen it all a million times

[Chorus]

Take me down a-to a Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Won't ya take me home?

Take me down a-to a Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Won't ya take me home?

Take it

Take me down, gonna spin me 'round

Take me down to a Paradise City

Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Won't ya take me home?

Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

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, yeah?

Baby

Please

Las Vegas

Good fuckin' night

Yeah
