<br />

Money, I ain't got none<br />

Problems, I sure got some<br />

But I got two tickets to paradise<br />

don'tcha wanna go<br />

<br />

?<br />

<br />

Sadness all round<br />

Gladness just can't be found<br />

But I got two tickets to paradise<br />

don'tcha wanna go with me?<br />

<br />

Everything I did was wrong, the day was dark as night<br />

But I found a girl whose love was strong, now everything's all right<br />

(All right!, all right!)<br />

<br />

I got to hurry, my bag is packed<br />

I'm leavin' and I ain't comin' back<br />

'cause I got two tickets to paradise<br />

Oh, now don'tcha wanna go with me?<br />

<br />

The first stop, we'll take a walk<br />

Second stop, we'll have a talk<br />

The third stop<br />

<br />

Ooh-ee!, you better go with me<br />

<br />

Everything I did was wrong, my days were dark as night<br />

But I found a girl whose love was strong, now everything's all right<br />

(All right!, all right!)<br />

<br />

I got to hurry, my bag is packed<br />

I'm leavin' and I ain't comin' back<br />

'cause I got me two tickets to paradise<br />

Now don't you want to go with me?<br />

<br />

The first stop, we'll take a walk<br />

Second stop, we'll have a talk<br />

The third stop<br />

<br />

Ooh-ee!, don'tcha wanna go with me?<br />

<br />

Now don't you want to go with me?<br />

Be my guest, come on and go with me<br />
