They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees, and put 'em in a tree museum
C D G G
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
