text: So they paved paradise
  And put up a parking lot
  With a pink hotel
  A boutique
  And a swinging night spot
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got til its gone
  They paved paradise
  Put up a parking lot
  They took all the trees
  Put em in a tree museum
  And they charged all the people
  An arm and a leg just to see em
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got til its gone
  They paved paradise
  Put up a parking lot
  Hey farmer
  Put away your DDT
  Give me spots on my apples
  But leave me the birds and bees
  Please
  Dont it always seem to go
  You dont know what you got til its gone
  They paved paradise
  And they put up a parking lot
  Late last night
  I heard the screen door slam
  And a big yellow taxi come and took away my old man
  Dont it always seem to go
  You dont know what you got til its gone
  They paved paradise
  Put up a parking lot
  Put up a parking lot
