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
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
HEY, FARMER, FARMER
PUT AWAY YOUR D.D.T.
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
LISTEN, LATE LAST NIGHT
I HEARD THE SCREEN DOOR SLAM
AND A BIG YELLOW TAXI
TOOK MY GIRL AWAY
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
HEY, 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
WHY NOT
THEY PAVED PARADISE
TO PUT UP A PARKING LOT
HEY, HEY, HEY
PAVED PARADISE
AND PUT UP A PARKING LOT
I DON'T WANNA GIVE IT
WHY YOU WANNA GIVE IT
WHY YOU WANNA GIVE IT
ALL AWAY, HEY, HEY, HEY

'CAUSE YOU'RE GIVING IT
ALL AWAY, NO, NO
