Big Yellow Taxi lyrics

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 got til it`s gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Hey farmer farmer put away that DDT. (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 got til it`s gone?
they paved paradise put up a parking lot.

Late last night I heard a screen door a 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 til it`s gone
