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 do not know what you have got
Until it is gone
They paved paradise
And put a parking lot
The took all the trees & put
them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar & a half just to see them
Don´t it always seem to go
That you do not know what you have got
Until it is gone
They paved paradise
And put a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds & the bees Please!
Don´t it always seem to go
That you do not know what you have got
Until it is gone
They paved paradise
And put a parking lot
Late last night I heard a screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
Don´t it always seem to go
That you do not know what you have got
Until it is gone
They paved paradise
And put a parking lot
Don´t it always seem to go
That you do not know what you have got
Until it is gone
They paved paradise
And put a parking lot
The paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
The paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
