They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spa Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got ‘Til it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees And put them in a tree museum And they charged the people A dollar and a half just to seem 'em Don't it always seem to go, That you don't know what you've got ‘Til it's 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 leaves me the birds and the bees Please! Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've 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 don't know what you've got ‘Til it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
I said Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got ‘Til it's 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
