[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!
