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 do not know what you have got
Until it is gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar & a half to see ´em
Don´t it always seem to go
That you do not know what you have got
Until it is gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds & the bees
Please!
Dont it always seem to go
That you do not know what you have got
Until it is 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 do not know what you have got
Until it is gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
