　　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, and put [th]em in a tree museum/ and they charged the people a dollar and a half to see [th]em./ No, no, no!

　　(重复●●部分)

　　Hey farmer, put away your DDT./ I don't care about spots on my apples./ Leave me the birds and the bees, please./ (重复●●部分)

　　Listen: Late last night I heard the screen door slam/ and a big yellow taxi took my girl away./ (重复●●部分三遍)...

　　他们用粉色的旅馆、商店和乱哄哄的娱乐场所盖住了大自然的天堂/搭起了露天停车场/事情难道不总是这样/在你失去它之前你就意识不到它的存在……
