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 up a parking lot
  They took all the trees and put em in a tree museum
  And then they charged the people a dollar-and-a-half just to see em
  Dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got till its gone?
  They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
  Hey farmer, farmer, put away your 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 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 youve got till its gone?
  They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
  I said, dont it always seem to go
  That you dont know what youve got till 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
