Joni Mitchell - Big yellow taxi lyrics

Your rating:

They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot
A pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always go to show
You never know what you got till it's gone?
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot. 

They took all the trees, they put them in a tree museum
They charged the people a dollar and a half just to see them
Don't it always go to show
You never know what you got till it's gone?
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot. 

Hey farmer, farmer, put away that D.D.T
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please,
Don't it always go to show
You never know what you got till it's gone?
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot. 

Late last night I heard my screen door slam
A big yellow taxi took my girl away
Don't it always go to show
You never know what you got till it's gone?
They paved paradise, they put up a parking lot.
