With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Ooooh, bop bop bop (x2)
They took all the trees, and put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
Ooooh, bop bop bop (x2)
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 that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot, why not?
Ooooh, bop bop bop (x2)
Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Well, don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot, why not?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot, hey hey hey
Paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Ooooh, bop bop bop (x2)
I don't wanna give it, why you wanna give it
Why you wanna giving it all away, hey, hey, hey (x2)
Now you wanna give it, I should wanna give it
Now you wanna giving it all away
Hey, paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why you wan' it? (x2)
