Well, it′s a paved paradise
They put up a parking lot
With a big hotel, a boutique
And a swingin' hot spot
Now 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
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 got till it's gone
And they paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la)
Hey farmer farmer
Put away that DDT now
Give me the spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees, please
Now don′t it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it′s gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la, ooh la la la la)
Well, late last night
She heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away her old man
(How about that?)
Well, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it′s gone
And they paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la)
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la)
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la)
They put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la)
Yeah, they put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la)
Put up a parking lot, yeah
(Ooh la la la la)
Put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la)
(Stop that)
They put up a parking lot
(Ooh la la la la)
I said stop it
No more parking lots
Build some parks
Plant some trees
