MEDFORD OREGON PAVED PARADISE AND PUT UP ANOTHER PARKING LOT
ANOTHER MEDFOR OREGON PARKING LOT
They paved Medford Oregon 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 Medford Oregon paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
Put 'them in a tree museum *
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see them
Hey 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 Medford Oregon 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
