Chorus (repeat twice through whole song) 
take me down to the paradise city 
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty 
oh wont you please take me home 

*instrumental* 

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 

Ragz to richez or so they say 
Ya gotta-keep pushin' 
for the fortune and fame 
It's all a gamble 
When it's just a game 
Ya treat it like a capital crime 
Everybody's doin' their time 

Chorus 

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 

Chorus 

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 losin' my mind- 
"Are you blind?" 
I've seen it all a million times 

Chorus (repeat 3x) 

Instrumental 
i wanna go i wanna know 
oh wont u please take me home 
i wanna see 
i wanna be
oh wont u please take me home 

chorus (until end)
