(originally by The Staple Singers)

I know a place
Ain't nobody cryin'
There ain't nobody lyin'
Lyin' to the races
Big ol' smile upon their faces
Oh help me, oh help me now

'Cause I know a place
There ain't nobody worryin'
Ain't nobody hurryin'
Like their time is wastin'

They're slowin' down their paces
Smilin' to the races (I'll take you there)
Oh, everybody happy now (I'll take you there)
Everybody workin', oh workin' (I'll take you there)
Oh, we'll take you there, yeah (I'll take you there)
Now let me take you (I'll take you there)
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna take you there (I'll take you there)

Oh, I said let me take you down, oh
(Let me take you down) I wanna, I gotta
(Let me take you down) Down in [Van Halen "Cabo Wabo"]
We'll be kissin' the ground

Come on, hey

Uh huh, I know a place
Where everybody happy
And everybody's laughing
Laughin' at that rat race

Got big ole smile upon their faces (I'll take you there)
Lyin' in the sun, lovin' everyone
Down there havin' fun come on, come on (I'll take you there)
Oh, I wanna take you (I'll take you there)
Yeah let me take you (I'll take you there)
Uh huh, you got to let me (I'll take you there)
Come on now come on a, come on a (I'll take you there)

Oh yeah, let me take you down, I wanna
(Let me take you down) Ow, I gotta
(Let me take you down) Hey, face down in [Van Halen "Cabo Wabo"]
Cabo!

I said now let me take you down
(Let me take you down) Come on now, come on now
(Let me take you down) Woah
(Let me take you down) Ow, I wanna take you there
(Let me take you down) I gotta take you
(Let me take you down) Give it, uh uh uh
(Let me take you down) I take you there
(Let me take you down) Ow
(Let me take you down)
