They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a 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
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put `em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see `em
Don`t it always seem to go
That you don`t know what you`ve got
Till it`s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away the D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples
But 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
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard my screen door slam
and a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Don`t it always seem to go
That you don`t know what you`ve got
Till it`s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
I said don`t it always seem to go
that you dont know what you`ve got
Till it`s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
