and all who love this songs.

[Adam Duritz]

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

[Vanessa Carlton]

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam]

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

[Vanessa]

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam]

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

Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot

Why not?

[Vanessa]

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam]

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

Well, don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise to put up a parking lot

Why not?

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey hey hey

Paved paradise and put up a parking lot

[Vanessa]

Ooooh, bop bop bop

Ooooh, bop bop bop

[Adam, Vanessa]

I don't wanna give it

Why you wanna give it

Why you wanna giving it all away

Hey, hey, hey

Now you wanna give it

I should wanna! give it

Now you wanna giving it all away

Hey, paved paradise to put up a parking lot

I dont' know who Adam Duritz and Vanessa Carleton are, but that song was written and recorded by Joni Mitchell in about 1967 or 1968. It's a great song, but give credit where credit is due. It's Joni Mitchell, and she's got tons of other great songs too. What an artist.

well, Loburt, neither do i know who's these folkd are, but songs being songs can be sing again and again by lotsa other artists.

Different artists have different style in singing a song, and Baby like the song sing by Counting Crows, so i post it for her.

u r welcome, greenie.

babyoiy listened to this track on repeat for hours last nite lol

This song reminds me a lot of what is now Silicon Valley. Before the big tech boom here in the 60's and 70's, there used to be orchards all over the place here. It was known as "the Valley of Hearts Delight". Yep, then thay paved it all over, and put up a wafer fab...

And now hear we are using all that silicon to communicate instantaniously all over the world...

Is it really so bad after all?
