JONI MITCHELL - Big Yellow Taxi lyrics

rate me

They paved paradise<br>And put up a parking lot<br>With a pink hotel, a boutique<br>And a swinging hot spot<br>Don't it always seem to go<br>That you don't know what you've got<br>Till it's gone<br>They paved paradise<br>And put up a parking lot<br><br>They took all the trees<br>Put 'em in a tree museum<br>And they charged the people<br>A dollar and a half just to see 'em<br>Don't it always seem to go<br>That you don't know what you've got<br>Till it's gone<br>They paved paradise<br>And put up a parking lot<br><br>Hey farmer farmer<br>Put away that d.d.t. now<br>Give me spots on my apples<br>But leave me the birds and the bees<br>Please!<br>Don't it always seem to go<br>That you don't know what you've got<br>Till it's gone<br>They paved paradise<br>And put up a parking lot<br><br>Late last night<br>I heard the screen door slam<br>And a big yellow taxi<br>Took away my old man<br>Don't it always seem to go<br>That you don't know what you've got<br>Till it's gone<br>They paved paradise<br>And put up a parking lot
