Testo Paradise City

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)





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 something 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


Everybody‘s doin‘ the 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





Take me down to the paradise city


Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty


Take me home, yeah 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





Captain America‘s been torn apart


Now he‘s a court jester with a broken heart


He said "turn me around and take me back to the start"


I must be losing my mind "are you blind?"


I‘ve seen it all a million times





Take me down to the paradise city


Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty


Take me home, yeah 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


Take me down to the paradise city


Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty


Take me home, yeah 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





I wanna go, I wanna go


Oh won‘t you please take me home


I wanna see how good it can be


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


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


Take me down, lead me ‘round


Oh won‘t you please take me home





I wanna see, what a woman can be


I want to take you 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


I wanna go, I wanna know


Oh won‘t you please take me home
