they paved paradise
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till 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 the people a dollar and a half to see them Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT I don't care about spots on my apples, LEAVE me the birds and the bees please Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot Why not? Listen, late last night, heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi took my girl away Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise and put up a parking lot Well, don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone They paved paradise to put up a parking lot Well now, they paved paradise And put up a parking lot I don't wanna give it Why you wanna give it Why you wanna givin it all away Hey, hey, hey Now you wanna give it I should wanna give it Now you wanna givin it all away Hey, paved paradise, put up a parking lot Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
