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 |
|
And 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 |
|
And put 'em in a tree museum |
|
And they charged the people |
|
A dollar and a half to seem them |
|
Now, now, now |
|
Don't it always seem to go, |
|
And you don't know what you've 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 |
|
And you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone |
|
They paved paradise |
|
And put up a parking lot |
|

|

|
And a big yellow taxi |
|

|
They paved paradise |

And put up a parking lot |
