text: They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
  A pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
  Dont it always go to show
  You never know what you got till its gone ?
  They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
  They took all the trees, they put them in a tree museum
  They charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them
  Dont it always go to show
  You never know what you got till its gone ?
  They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
  Hey farmer, farmer, put away that D.D.T
  Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please
  Dont it always go to show
  You never know what you got till its gone ?
  They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
  Late last night I heard my screen door slam
  A big yellow bulldozer took away my house and land
  Dont it always go to show
  You never know what you got till its gone ?
  They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
