[B] [E] [B] [E]
[A] The great paradise, put up a [E] parking lot
[A] With a pink [B] hotel, boutique, [E] and a swinging hot spot
Oh, you know it seems to [A] go
But you don't know [E] what you got to list [F#m] on
The great [B] paradise, put up a [E] parking lot
Shoobop, bop, bop, shoobop, bop, [A] bop
They took all the trees, put them in a [E] tree museum
And [A] then they charged all the [B] people 25 [E] bucks just to see them
Oh, you know it seems to go
But you don't know what you got to list [A] on
The great [B] paradise, put up a [E] parking lot
Shoobop, [A]
bop, bop, [E] shoobop, bop, bop, shoobop, bop
[A] They gave me spots on my [B] apples, believe me, the [E] birds and the bees
Oh, you know it seems to go
[A] But you don't know [B] what you [E] got to list [A] on
The great [B] paradise, put up a [E] parking lot
[A] Silly paradise

Shoobop, bop, bop, [A] shoobop, bop, bop, shoobop, bop
