They paved paradise

and put up
a parking lot
With a pink hotel,

a boutique and a
swinging hot spot
Don't it always
seem to go that

you don't know
what you've got
till it's gone?
They paved paradise

and put up
a parking lot
They took
all the trees

Put 'em in a
tree museum
And they charged
the people a

dollar and a half
just to see 'em
Don't it always
seem to go that

you don't know
what you've got
till it's gone?
Hey farmer, farmer

Put away that
D.D.T. now
Give me spots
on my apples

But leave me the
birds and the bees
Please
Don't it always
seem to go that

you don't know
what you've got
till it's 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
till it's gone?
I said don't it always
seem to go that

you don't know
what you've got
till it's gone?
