Verse 1:
They Paved Paradise And Put Up A Parking Lot
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
Ooooh, Bop Bop Bop)
Verse 2:
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.
Now, Now, 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.
(Ooooh, Bop Bop Bop
Ooooh, Bop Bop Bop)
Verse 3:
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

Hey Now, They Paved Paradise To Put Up A Parking Lot.

Listen, Late Last Night, I Heard The Screen Door Slam
And A Big Yellow Taxi Took My Girl Away.

Hey Hey Hey.
