Текст песни Big Yellow Taxi - Tierney Sutton

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,
With 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 the charged all the people a dollar and a half just to see them
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
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
