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 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 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, what a woman 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 Oh won't you please take me home I wanna go, I wanna know Oh won't you please take me home
