They paved paradise 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 know 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 then they charged all the people twenty-five bucks 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 and put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, farmer, put your DDT(*) 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 you've got till 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
Late last night I heard the 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 till it's gone They paved and put up parking 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
