They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With Ches' Fish 'n' Chips, a boutique
And a swinging tot's spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
Except this one persistent bugger
So we put a geocache in 'em
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
‘Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey Sobey's, Sobey's
Put away that 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
‘Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard the dumpster slam
And a big yellow taxi
Spun by as I cached with 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
And put up a parking lot
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
And put up a parking lot... mmm BYOP!
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot... mmm BYOP!
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot!
