Lyrics
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 till it's gone?
They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot
They took all the trees, put them in a tree musem
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see them
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
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 till 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 till 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 till it's gone?
Paved Paradise and put up a parking lot
They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot
They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot
