Just an urchin living under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to bet
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
You gotta keep pushing for the fortune and fame
You know it's all a gamble when it's just a game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing the time
Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home yeahhh
Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Why won't you please take me home??? Yeahhhhh
So far away x4
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 a million times
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
Take me home yeahhh
Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Why won't you please take me home???
Homeeee x2
I wanna know, I wanna know why won't you please take me home x2
Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home yeahhh
I wanna go, I wanna go, Why won't you please take me home??? Babyyyy
