Are you sure about that?

Take me down to the Paradise City
Where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Take me home (I want you, please, take me home)

I mean they repeat it a whole bunch of times.

Those werenโ€™t the original lyrics, though. Axl changed them before the song was recorded (good move, though)

From Genius:

"Guns N Roses guitarist Slash โ€“ who wrote most of the music for this song โ€“ wanted the repeat of the chorus to change to:

Where the girls are fat
And theyโ€™ve got big titties

Lead singer Axl Rose didnโ€™t go for it. Instead it follows with nice sights most Americans long to find. Particularly for being better than usual (after all, the grass is always greener on the other side).

Note the alliteration: grass, green and girls."

Thanks for the fun fact! I didnโ€™t know this.

When youโ€™re young, horny and reasonably healthy it makes a lot more sense.

Fuck, high school summers hanging out in the park with pretty girls (most girls were pretty, as I recall). I didnโ€™t need much more than that.

Well if the grass is dead, most other plants will probably be too.
