Money, I ain’t got none

Problems, I sure got some

But I got two tickets to paradise

Dontcha wanna go

Sadness all round

Gladness just can’t be found

But I got two tickets to paradise

Dontcha wanna go with me?

Everything I did was wrong, the day was dark as night

But I found a girl whose love was strong, now everything’s all right

(All right!, all right!)

I got to hurry, my bag is packed

I’m leavin' and I ain’t comin' back

'cause I got two tickets to paradise

Oh, now dontcha wanna go with me?

The first stop, we’ll take a walk

Second stop, we’ll have a talk

The third stop

Ooh-ee!, you better go with me

Everything I did was wrong, my days were dark as night

But I found a girl whose love was strong, now everything’s all right

(All right!, all right!)

I got to hurry, my bag is packed

I’m leavin' and I ain’t comin' back

'cause I got me two tickets to paradise

Now don’t you want to go with me?

The first stop, we’ll take a walk

Second stop, we’ll have a talk

The third stop

Ooh-ee!, dontcha wanna go with me?

Now don’t you want to go with me?

Be my guest, come on and go with me
