Big Yellow Taxi

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' 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 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see 'em
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

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
I don't care about spots on my apples
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, put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot

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

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, now
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
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
