They paved paradise, put up a parking lot With a pink motel, boutique, and a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum And they charged all the people A dollar and a half just to seem them Don't it always seem to go Said you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Say hey farmer, farmer put away the DDT now And the spots on my apples Leave me the birds and the bees, please Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Late last night I heard that screen door slam And the big yellow taxi took away my old man Don't it always seem to go Said you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Don't it always seem to go You don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise, put up a parking lot They paved paradise, put up a parking lot They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
