Big Yellow Taxi

Big yellow taxi
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Witch a pink hotel, a 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
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don′t it always seem to go
That you don′t know what you've got
Till it′s gone
The paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer
Put away that D.D.T. now
Give me spots on my apples
But 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
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
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
