Lyrics and Music by Joni Mitchell
Producer: Joni Mitchell
Year: 1970
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 till it's gone.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
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 till it's gone.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
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.
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.
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 till it's gone.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
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.
Yeah they paved paradise, put up a parking lot
I said they paved paradise, put up a parking lot
