Big Yellow Taxi (Live) [2022 Remaster]

(Whoo!)

They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot

Don't it always seem to go?
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

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

Don't it always seem to go?
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Hey, farmer, farmer, put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees
Please

Don't it always seem to go?
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Late last night, I heard that screen door slam
And a big yellow tractor come and pushed around my house
Pushed around my land, I said

Don't it always seem to go?
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Late last night, I heard that screen door slam again
And a big yellow taxi come and took away my old man again

Don't it always seem to go?
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Oh, they paved paradise and they put up those parking lots
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
They put up a parking lot, they put up a parking lot
