Lyrics

[00:11.490] They paved paradise
[00:13.100] And put up a parking lot
[00:16.910] With a pink hotel, a boutique
[00:19.130] And a swinging hot spot
[00:22.700] Don't it always seem to go
[00:25.080] And you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
[00:27.920] They paved paradise
[00:28.860] And put up a parking lot
[00:36.290] They took all the trees
[00:37.490] And put 'em in a tree museum
[00:41.420] And they charged the people
[00:42.850] A dollar and a half to seem them
[00:46.140] Now, now, now
[00:47.220] Don't it always seem to go,
[00:49.480] And you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
[00:52.490] They paved paradise
[00:54.010] And put up a parking lot
[01:00.470] Hey Farmer Farmer
[01:01.960] Put away your DDT
[01:05.340] I don't care about spots on my apples
[01:07.600] Leave me the birds and the bees
[01:10.090] Please!
[01:11.670] Don't it always seem to go
[01:13.990] And you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
[01:16.830] They paved paradise
[01:18.340] And put up a parking lot
[01:21.530] Hey now,

[01:24.040] To put up a parking lot
[01:26.870] Why not?
[01:54.820] Listen late last night
[01:56.660] I heard the screen door slam
[02:00.460] And a big yellow taxi
[02:01.930] Took my girl away
[02:05.800] Now, don't it always seem to go
[02:08.580] That you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone
