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
(n.
.)
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
(Choo bop bop bop bop, choo bop bop bop bop)
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
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
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
with only one chooo bop... at each end)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (choo bop bop bop bop)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
