First verse:
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
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
(Shoo bop bop bop bop Shoo bop bop bop)
Second verse:
They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged all the people twenty-five bucks just to see 'em
Repeat chorus:
Third verse:
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please
Repeat chorus twice:
Fourth verse:
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man
