[00:00.00][Verse 1]
[00:06.45]They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
[00:12.15]With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
[00:17.55][Chorus]
[00:18.84]Don't it always seem to go
[00:21.57]That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
[00:24.30]They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[00:27.78](Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
[00:28.23]Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[00:28.71][Verse 2]
[00:33.21]They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
[00:39.03]And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
[00:44.37][Chorus]
[00:45.69]Don't it always seem to go
[00:48.39]That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
[00:51.15]They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[00:54.57](Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

[00:55.56][Verse 3]
[01:00.18]Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now
[01:06.00]Give me spots on my apples
[01:07.68]But leave me the birds and the bees, please
[01:11.19][Chorus ]
[01:12.66]Don't it always seem to go
[01:15.27]That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
[01:18.24]They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[01:21.81](Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
[01:22.23]Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[01:22.77][Verse 4]
[01:27.45]Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
[01:32.97]And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
[01:36.27][Chorus]
[01:39.66]Don't it always seem to go
[01:42.36]That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
[01:45.15]They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[01:49.08](Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[01:56.04]I said, don't it always seem to go
[02:09.03]That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
[02:11.94]They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[02:16.17](Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[02:17.82]They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
[02:22.35](Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
[02:23.73]They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

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've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Shoo-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
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT 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
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
I said, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop)
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
