Big Yellow Taxi - Live from Spotify Studios NYC
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, 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
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Oh-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la
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, put up a parking lot, yeah
Oh-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
You paved paradise, put up a parking lot, come on
Oh-la-la-la
Oh, they paved paradise, put up a parking lot, yeah, one more time
Oh-la-la-la
I said, "They paved paradise, put up a parking lot"
I didn't wanna end
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, 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
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Oh-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la
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, put up a parking lot, yeah
Oh-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
You paved paradise, put up a parking lot, come on
Oh-la-la-la
Oh, they paved paradise, put up a parking lot, yeah, one more time
Oh-la-la-la
I said, "They paved paradise, put up a parking lot"
I didn't wanna end
