Capo 3
Intro:
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swingin' hot spot
CHORUS:
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
Choo ba ba ba ba choo ba ba ba ba
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
CHORUS:
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
Choo ba ba ba ba choo ba ba ba ba
Hey farmer farmer, put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds
and the bees please
CHORUS:
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
Choo ba ba ba ba choo ba ba ba ba
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
CHORUS:
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
Choo ba ba ba ba choo ba ba ba ba
CHORUS:
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
Choo ba ba ba ba choo ba ba ba ba
Yeah they paved paradise, put up a parking lot
I said they paved paradise, put up a parking lot
