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 'em in a tree museum And they charged 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 Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer Put away that DDT 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
Listen 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 And put up a parking lot
