More about Bulldozing the Albany Pine Bush...

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 them in a tree museum.
And they charged all 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.
