text: They paved paradise, 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, put up a parking lot
  They took all the trees and put em in a tree museum
  And they charged all the people a dollar and a half 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, farmer, put away that DDT now
  Gimme 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 til its gone?
  They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
  Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
  And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
  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 paved paradise, put up a parking lot
  They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
