text: They paved paradise
  Put up a parking lot
  With a pink hotel, a boutique
  And a swingin hot spot
  Don’t it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got
  Til it’s gone
  They paved paradise
  And 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
  And put up 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 don’t know what you got
  ’Til its 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 dont know what you got
  Til its gone
  They paved paradise
  And put up a parking lot
  They paved paradise
  And put up a parking lot
  They paved paradise
  And put up a parking lot
  Don’t it always seem to go
  That you dont know what you got
  Til its gone
