作曲：Joni Mitchell

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

Ooooh bop bop bop

Ooooh bop bop bop

Hey farmer farmer put away your DDT

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

Listen late last night I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi took my girl away

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 paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
