text: They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
  With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin hot spot
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got til its gone
  They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
  Ooooh, bop bop bop
  Ooooh, bop bop bop
  They took all the trees, and put them in a tree museum
  And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
  No, no, no
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got till its gone
  They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
  Ooooh, bop bop bop
  Ooooh, bop bop bop
  Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
  I dont care about spots on my apples
  Leave me the birds and the bees
  Please
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got till its gone
  They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
  Hey now!
  They paved paradise, to put up a parking lot
  Ooooh, bop bop bop
  Ooooh, bop bop bop
  Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
  And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
  Now, dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got til its gone
  They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
  Hey na na, dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got til its gone
  They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
