 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
 And put them in a tree museum
 And they charged all the people
 A dollar and a half 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 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 and the bees
 Please!
 Dont 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
