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
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don´t it always seem to go
That you don´t know what you got till it´s gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise
They put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I don´t wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Cuz you´re givin it all away, no no

I don´t wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Cuz you´re givin it all givin it all away yeah yeah
Cuz You´re givin it all away

Hey, paved paradise, to put up a parking lot
la,la, la, la, la, la, na ,na, na, na, na, nah
Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
