[Chorus] Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Take me home, yeah-yeah (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?

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?
