Big Yellow Taxi Songtext / Lyric

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

With a pink motel, boutique, and a swinging hot spot

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you've got till 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 all the people

A dollar and a half just to seem them

Don't it always seem to go

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

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot






Say hey farmer, farmer put away the ddt now

And the 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 till it's gone

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot



Late last night i heard that screen door slam

And the big yellow taxi took my girl away

Don't it always seem to go

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

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot



Don't it always seem to go

You don't know what you've got till 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
