I'm not sure who it's by, or what it's called, but the lyrics go:
Took all the trees and put them in a museum
I think this is in the chorus:
Paved paradise......
Sorry I don't know anymore.....
Thx!

The female version is by Joni Mitchell- Big Yellow Taxi. The male version is a remake by The Counting Crows-They Paved Paradise.
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
‘Til 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 the people
A dollar and a half just to seem 'em
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til 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
‘Til its 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
‘Til it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
I said
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you’ve got
‘Til it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

"They paved paradise & put up a parking lot." That's "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell. & my soft rock & adult top 40 stations play regularly the version by Counting Crows featuring Vanessa Carlton.
