text: They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
  With a pink hotel, a boutique and
  A swinging hot spot
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got
  Till its gone
  They paved paradise
  And put a parking lot
  The took all the trees and put
  Them in a tree museum
  And they charged all the people
  A dollar and a half just to see them
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got
  Till its 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 and the bees Please!
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got
  Till its 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
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got
  Till its gone
  They paved paradise
  And put a parking lot
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got
  Till its 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
