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
They took all the trees
Put ’em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half 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
Hey farmer farmer
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
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away 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 put up a parking lot
aw hay Angel loved that song wonderful memories. thanks
🙂
As with so many of our “old” songs, the lyrics still apply today.
Ya know what Angel, I almost posted this the other day. Don`t know why but I guess that this is why I didn`t.
This is a super cool post Angel. Thanks Angel
I dream about things like this song every night
🙂 😉
BTW, you got even with me for “Starshine.” I can’t get “Hair of the Dog” out of my head. LOL
😆
LOL It’s still there. Came out a bit in my response to Randy in “One Tin Soldier” (combined with “The Bitch Is Back”). 😉 🙂
“Now you’re messin’ with a…” 🙂
I bet too Angel. 😉
My halo has always been looped over one of my horns. 😉
Angel.. do you carry a razor or a knife? 🙂
stiletto
aaaaaaah very good.
I’d love to add the little item that Funny Farmer reviewed the other day to my toy collection, but I’m like you. 😉
discretion is the better part of valor my dear. If you’ve got it you don’t flaunt it. 🙂
Amen
Yes , We paid for paradise and they put up a parking lot 🙁
They are really sad / pitiful soulless creatures they are
Awesome song Angel , I love it, yes I do – good honest music Angel.
Yes, sad how the lyrics still apply.
This verse also still applies (Monsanto):
Hey farmer farmer
Put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Yes Angel. TPTB do not care about anything but how deep their pockets are.Yes that DDT was one if not the main active ingrediant in Agent Orange ya know.
I grew up on a strawberry farm and the power company sprayed DTT on the ajoining land back in 68 – 69 and it drifted onto 5 acres of strawberries and destroyed them all. Boy was my dad pissed over that one.He took them to court and the power company bought off the judge and we lost our case against them – didn`t even get compensation for the strawberies. We sold to the grocery stores in a 5 county area. They were all hand picked and were all organic even back then and we lost it all. $50,000. worth.
