Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics

They paved paradise and put up a parkin' 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 got till it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum

And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

No, no, no, don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got till it's gone

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your 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 got till it's gone

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot

Why not?

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door sway

And a big yellow taxi took my girl away

Now don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got till it's gone
