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 til 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 they charged all 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 til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, farmer, put away that 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 what you've got til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Late last night I heard the 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 til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot (3x)
