Big Yellow Taxi (2007)

So they paved paradise and put up a parking lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging night spot

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til 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 an arm and a leg just to see 'em

Don't it always seem to go

That you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, put away your DDT

Give me spots on my apples

But leave me the birds and bees, please

Don't it always seem to go

You don't know what you got 'til it's gone

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Late last night, I heard the screen door slam

And a big yellow taxi come and took away my old man

Oh, don't it always seem to go

You don't know what you got 'til it's gone?

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

They put up a parking lot

A parking lot

They paved paradise
