They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' hot spot
[Chorus]

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
E F# B
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
E F# B
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
E F# B
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

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

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
E F# B
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
