Pat Boone - Paradise City lyrics

Take me down to the paradise city Where the gra** is green and the girls are pretty Take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the gra** is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home Just an 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 You gotta keep pushin' for the fortune and fame It's all a gamble when it's just a game You try it like a capital crime, everybody's doing their time Take me down to the paradise city Where the gra** is green and the girls are pretty Take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the gra** is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please 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" You have another cigarette but I can't see Tell me who you're gonna believe Take me down to the paradise city Where the gra** is green and the girls are pretty Take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the gra** is green and the girls are pretty Won't you please take me home So far away, so far away So far away, so far away Hey, 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 Take me down to the paradise city Where the gra** is green and the girls are pretty Take me home Take me down to the paradise city Where the gra** is green and the girls are pretty Oh, won't you please take me home Take me home Won't you please take me home Take me home
