Текст песни Big Yellow Taxi - The Idea of North

They paved paradise
Put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel
A boutique and a swingin' hotspot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
Put 'em in a tree museum
Then they charged all 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 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Hey, farmer, farmer
Put away the DDT, now
Give me spots on my apples
Give me the birds and the bees, now

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone

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
Don't it always seem to go
(Don't it always)
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
