Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging 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 (Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bopbop shoo-bop-bop-bop)

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the people twentyfive bucks 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 (Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bopbop shoo-bop-bop-bop)

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT 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 they 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 they put up a parking lot (Shoo-bop-bop)

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi carried off 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 they put up a parking lot (Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bopbop)

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and they 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
