They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

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 Ooooh, bop bop bop

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?
