They paved paradise and put up a parking lot a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum And then they charged the people twenty-five bucks just to see 'em Don't it 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 your DDT(*) now Give me spots on my apples but leave me birds and the bees, please Don't it always seem to That you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Don't always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone They paved paradise and put a parking lot
Late last night I heard the screen door(*) slam And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got it's gone They paved paradise and put up a lot
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
