Chicago
Paradise Alley
[Verse 1: Donnie Dacus]
Come on in, have a look around
Hang your hat and find a chair
The pretty women smile at you
The party's just beginning
There's music everywhere

[Chorus: All, (Bandmates)]
Paradise alley (Take you to the paradise)
Paradise alley (Take you to the paradise)
Paradise alley (Take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise)

[Verse 2: Donnie Dacus]
Brothers got to stick together here
Fight with one, you fight with three
The family blood is thick as mud
Day to day, the world keeps spinning

[Chorus: All, (Bandmates)]
Paradise alley
Paradise alley (Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise)
Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise

[Verse 3: Donnie Dacus]
It reminds you of who you used to be
And who you are, and who you'll always be
It finds you in pursuit of dreams
And hopeless schemes
Life is richer than it seems
[Bridge: Bandmates]
Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise
Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise
Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise

[Verse 4: Donnie Dacus]
There nothing like being in a woman's arms
The one you love, the one you want
There's one small problem, who can she be?
I feel like winning her in—

[Chorus: All, (Bandmates)]
Paradise alley (Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise)
Paradise alley (Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise)
Paradise alley (Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise)
Paradise alley (Gonna take you to the paradise, take you to the paradise)

[Outro: Donnie Dacus, with bandmates, Bandmates]
I'm gonna take you there
Paradise alley (Gonna take you to the paradise)
Gonna take you there
I'm gonna take you there (Paradise alley)
Yeah
Gonna take you to the paradise
