[Intro] And this concludes our show for tonight We're gonna leave you with one last song This is called "Paradise City" [Chorus] Take me down to the Paradise City Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty Sing it! 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 Take me home [Instrumental Break] One, two, three, jump [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Rags to riches, or so they say, you gotta Keep pushin' 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 doin' the time [Chorus] 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? 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? That's right, ah [Verse 3] 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'll have another cigarette, but I can't see Tell me who you're gonna believe, sing it [Chorus] 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? 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 [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Sing this! So far away So far away So far away So far away [Verse 4] Captain America's torn apart, now A court jester with a broken heart, he said "Turn me around, take me back to the start" I must be losin' my mind, "Are you blind?" I seen it all a million times [Chorus] 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? 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? Please sing it for us 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? 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? [Post-Chorus] Home [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I wanna go, I wanna know Oh, won't you please take me home? I wanna see how good it can be Oh, won't you please take me home? [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I wanna go, I wanna go Oh, won't you please take me home? I wanna see how good it can be Oh, won't you please take me Home? Oh, Stoke, thank you so very much It't been a pleasure, thank you [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Thank you
