paroles de chanson Big Yellow Taxi (2007) - Joni Mitchell

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
