Big Yellow Taxi Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees, please
[Chorus]
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
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Hey farmer, farmer, put away the DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees, please
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
[Chorus]
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?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (come on)
Oh-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la
Oh, They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (one more time)
Oh-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
I didn't wanna end
Late last night, I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man
[Chorus]
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?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (come on)
Oh-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la
Oh, They paved paradise, put up a parking lot (one more time)
Oh-la-la-la
Oh-la-la-la
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
I didn't wanna end
