It goes like this...
"Paved paradise, put up a parking lot"

it was on the friends soundtrack, but she has a different slow version.

The song is Big Yellow Taxi; Joni Mitchell wrote it and many have covered
it.

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 'em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see them
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 it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Late last night I heard a 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.
