Big Yellow Taxi

They paved paradise, 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 (uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)
(Uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em

No, no, no
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 (uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)
(Uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)

Hey, farmer, farmer, put away the DDT
Don't care about spots on my apples
Leave me the birds and the bees

No, no, no
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 (uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)
(Uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)

So late, last night, I heard my screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away

No, no, no
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 paved paradise, put up a parking lot

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)
Put up a parking lot (uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)
Put up a parking lot (uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)
Put up a parking lot (uuh, pa-pa-pa-pa)
Put up a parking lot
