Big Yellow Taxi
They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lotWith a pink hotel, a boutiqueAnd a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to goThat you don't know what you've gotTill it's goneThey paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot
They took all the treesAnd put 'em in a tree museumAnd they charged the peopleA dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to goThat you don't know what you've gotTill it's goneThey paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmerPut away that DDT nowAnd give me spots on my applesBut leave me the birds and the beesPlease!
Don't it always seem to goThat you don't know what you've gotTill it's goneThey paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot
(They paved paradise)(They paved paradise)
Late last nightI heard the screen door slamAnd a big yellow taxiTook away my old man
Don't it always seem to goThat you don't know what you've gotTill it's goneThey paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot
Don't it always seem to goThat you don't know what you've gotTill it's gone
They paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lotThey paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lotThey paved paradiseAnd put up a parking lot
(They paved paradise)(They paved paradise)(They paved paradise)(They paved paradise)
