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.
(x2)

Take me down,
Where the grass is green,
Take me down.

Just a' urchin livin' under the street,
C'mon,
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.

Ragz to richez or so they say,
You gotta - keep pushin' for the fortune and fame,
You know it,
It's all a gamble,
When it's just a game,
You treat it like a capital crime,
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.
(x2)

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber,
Why I'm here I can't quite remember,
The surgeon general say's it's hazardous to breathe,
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see,
Tell me who ya 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.
(x3)
